I have covered war, espionage and intrigue for major news organizations in the United States and around the world, including the New York Times, Newsweek, Time magazine, Reader’s Digest, CBS 60 Minutes, ABC News, Le Monde, L’Express, Le Point, and many others. That was when these organizations still tried to be “mainstream” and did not pull punches, self-censor and lie to protect their political allies.
Only when I was fired by Time in 1994 for investigating a story that threatened President Bill Clinton and many senior officials in his administration did I begin to understand that the mainstream media was dead.
The first war I went to cover was the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982. As a Left-Bank expat living in Paris, I naturally sympathized with the Palestinians and planned to embed with a pro-Palestinian NGO in beseiged West Beirut. I wanted to write about the plight of innocent civilians whose lives had been shattered by war.

He must mean when wally cronkite lied about Viet Nam. 😠
The irony is rich here. Rich I say.
Here we have a leftist journalist who was fired because he wasn’t leftist enough. Yet he keeps on being a good journalist stooge for the left.
Those scumbag Clintons.
Journalism is dead. All we are getting now is lies and fake stories written by Snowflakes and their Girls Gone Wild Evil Princesses down at the DNC.
Look him up. By the end of the 90s, he was very much considered a coderivative journalist.
As I investigated, encouraged by Time editors, I uncovered and documented a massive effort by China to buy sensitive military production gear from US weapons plants, seemingly with the benediction — or at least, a blind eye — from Clinton administration officials.
Yet, they can't figure out why so many people have abandoned them.
Just like the DOJ is America's KGB, these people are America's state-run media.
Journalist nowadays is no more about getting the truth than Facebook is about getting “disinformation” oh t of course heir system. Anyone ever click on their stori about “unbelievable giant animals or Hollywood pictures of older stars in bikinis and bigger than actual features?
Everything a scam.
He only discovered it in 1994. It was ongoing since the middle 1960’s, at least.
“He must mean when wally cronkite lied about Viet Nam.”
He must mean when the NYT’s lied about Stalin.
🤔🤣
This story was followed two years later by the LAAP-dog media covering up Bill Clinton's "quid pro quo" scandal.

We live in a mediaocracy—the masses believe what they are told. Yell a thing, put it on TV new 24-7 and it must be true. Many in the USA still believe Trump is Putin’s puppet. Many believe Trump is a gangster who made himself rich and would be a new Hitler—if given the chance. They believe only the Democrat-Progressives can save the USA and the world. Reality is going to be a cold turd sandwich soon. The Truth: The Green New Deal is only to make China and a few rich people richer, Ukraine will never win against Russia, Covid was a massive plot, The Coming WW III only to reduce the population to a Billion People. (most will die of Starvation like WW II).
I was an avid reader of newspapers during the Nixon administration. Journalism died long before 1994.
Wishing for a strategically placed tactical cruise missile...
Operation Mockingbird destroyed journalism—and that was the 1950s.
