This is a very informative story on the Halperin family.
If you like reading comments, there are 2 other threads with the title "The ABC's of Media Bias".
The other threads didn't include the links within the article.
BTW, the poster of this thread correctly placed it in the editorial sidebar, where it gets hang time - so more folks have an opportunity to read it - without hunting for it. Other folks don't seem to understand the importance of placement.
Marker BUMP
Incestous left wing rabble...manipulating the media and institutions of this country.
Who would have thought that the grand plan to subvert freedom in the west was to be maintained and promoted by these treasonous slime.
Papa Marx and Uncle Joe would be proud.
From the article -----
During President Lyndon Johnson’s administration Halperin had been in charge of compiling a classified history of U.S. involvement in Vietnam. As David Horowitz and Richard Poe reported:
This secret history later emerged [in June 1971] into public view as the so-called “Pentagon Papers.” Halperin and his deputy Leslie Gelb assigned much of the writing to leftwing opponents of the war, such as Daniel Ellsberg who, despite his background as a former Marine and a military analyst for the Rand Corporation, was already evolving into a New Left radical…With Halperin’s tacit encouragement – and perhaps active collusion – Ellsberg stole the secret history and released it to The New York Times…Not surprisingly, “The Pentagon Papers” echoed Halperin’s long-standing position that the Vietnam War was unwinnable, and ridiculed Presidents Kennedy and Johnson for stubbornly refusing to heed those of their advisors who shared this opinion.

A Saturday morning bump for important info!
It's astounding, the number and influence of traitors in this nation. Cicero's famous quote comes to mind.
