Fwd: NP: Nord Stream 2

[Joseph Tracy]

 I will be re-posting posts that did not make it into the archives or trying to do so anyway. I don’t know why Kohuts posts started coming to my email despite my block or why they then stopped but intend to put some responses on the record.

The recent article by Gerth in the Columbia Journalism review does a thorough job or laying bare  lies coming from the NYT and others along with their unwillingness to admit their journalistic crimes. Same is happening with Taibbi and other’s exposire of Twitter complicity with the FBI and Democratic party. This is not some new development. "Carl Bernstein, the Washington Post reporter of Watergate fame, had mapped the full extent of the C.I.A.’s penetration of the press in a notable piece <https://www.carlbernstein.com/the-cia-and-the-media-rolling-stone-10-20-1977> Rolling Stone published in 1977. By his count, Oswald Johnston’s “three dozen American journalists” came to more than 400.”( Patrick Lawrence in Consortium News)
