The identities were buried.

Foreign-agent filings reveal that operatives working for a Chinese Communist Party-linked influence organization planned free trips for American journalists based on the potential for “favorable coverage” and sought to “effectively disseminate positive messages” about Beijing.

But the filings did not plainly identify the reporters who received the access.

By cross-referencing the filings with archived newsletters, annual reports and contemporaneous accounts, this investigation has uncovered the names of prominent American journalists who participated in China trips organized or funded by the China-United States Exchange Foundation, or CUSEF.

Traitors. Every single g-d one of them.

[NorthMountain]

Lots of editors in that Rogues Gallery. The ChiComs aren’t stupid. Evil, but not stupid.

[Kudsman]

So any news story or opinion piece that these people are involved in going forward can be dismissed as biased.

[bray]

All Communism all the time.

[central_va]

Waiting for the denials……..

[doorgunner69]

I remember that Brownstain bastard from when he was writing for the LA Slimes.

Total subversive creep.

No Christiane Amanpour?

[Paladin2]

Aren’t there plenty of vacancies at the Gitmo’ Resort?

[SuperLuminal]

Just the usual traitorous suspects...

Lists like this existed in the 1930s, 1940s, 1950s, etc... etc... etc...

The only thing that changes is which current Marxist hegemony is laying out the money...

[Flaming Conservative]

TBH, I ignore the listed outlets already, as most FReepers do.

[ChessExpert]

Thanks for the list. I don’t know the individuals, but I do know most of the organizations listed. The usual suspects.

[ealgeone]

Probably just the tip of the iceberg.

[No name given]

They deserve the punishment for treason.

[bigbob]

I’d guess this is a very partial list.

But did they register under FARA?

FARA is an acronym for the Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938, as amended, 22 U.S.C. § 611 et seq. (“FARA” or “the Act”). FARA requires the registration of, and disclosures by, an “agent of a foreign principal” who, either directly or through another person, within the United States (1) engages in “political activities” on behalf of a foreign principal; (2) acts as a foreign principal’s public relations counsel, publicity agent, information-service employee, or political consultant; (3) solicits, collects, disburses, or dispenses contributions, loans, money, or other things of value for or in the interest of a foreign principal; or (4) represents the interests of the foreign principal before any agency or official of the U.S. government. In addition, FARA requires agents to conspicuously label “informational materials” transmitted in the United States for or in the interest of a foreign principal. There are some exemptions to FARA’s registration and labeling requirements for specified categories of agents and activities.

If you believe an individual or entity may have an obligation to register, please contact the FARA Unit:
