“Point 3 – Military Intelligence Officers Working in CNN’s Newsroom
“In 2000 a French intelligence newsletter revealed that U.S. Army Psyops personnel* had been placed as “interns” in CNN’s newsroom. I don’t think this fact is in dispute.
“I was unaware that they had been removed. As much as I try, I just cannot read every press story printed everywhere in the world. Does the fact that I was unaware of the removal prove me guilty of misrepresentation? Gee, I apologize for not knowing everything.
“But does this change the fact that, according to author and Emmy winning former CNN News producer, Kristina Borjesson (who has a great new book out about the work that people like you do), CNN uses military satellites (to this day) for their live feeds? Does it change the fact that military intelligence personnel WERE placed in an American newsroom.
“Even you and (name deleted) have written heavily how the mainstream media serves the interests of the military, intelligence services and big business. Are you now telling me that you no longer believe that to be the case and are retracting your own writings?
“And please tell me how my failure to be aware of the removal of the “interns” is ‘central’ to my positions on 9-11. I don’t think even YOU can bend a pretzel that far.”
* Editorial Note: Psyops stands for Psychological Operations and it refers basically to propaganda specialists whose mission might vary from demoralizing an enemy populace to all kinds of spin control intended to control public opinion.
