Operation Mockingbird will include 'left-wing' journalists we all know
and love. Can we handle it ? For example, right now David Korn of The Nation is writing pooh-pooh articles on Gannon/Guckert, yet his editor is the daughter of Bill Vanden Heuvel, who worked with "Wild Bill" Donovan in Thailand...

Hmmmmm. Non official covers may have to be removed ?

1. Somewhere in this post is a coherent point.
But I'll be damned if I have the time and patience to rearrange all the words so that we can see it.

A note for the foolish: Katrina Vanden Heuvel is not a quisling, notwithstanding allegations made about her father. Jesus people, your tine foil hats are on too tight.

3. Her CIA father set up in Thailand (?) with Donovan ...editors can edit

Korn's content can't they ? Coherent...more like pointing out the obvious. Teaser doesn't know about Operation Mockingbird, media manipulation by the CIA intelligence community. Seems like if Novak was a handy right-wing insider with NOC (non official cover) to expose one of their own (Plame) and not face any consequences since he was one of 'their' journalists on the right...you'd naturally think the spooks would cover their left flank too.

Hiding in plain sight Teaser. Just like Gannon/Guckert.

Operation Mockingbird is nothing if not all inclusive politically.

4. The coherent point: OPERATION MOCKINGBIRD.
Google will probably loosen the tinfoil - or possibly tighten it.

5. Zhade, pretty darn obvious huh ? I knew I'd get dumped on for
pointing out inconvenient facts. But darn, Novak and Guckert/Gannon are such easy targets...We have to remember that they've compromised both sides of the political eisle and this is to be expected.

Korn was also one of the pooh-poohers on the JFK movie when it came out too, so this is not unexpected of him. Katrina might have just been out of the office the day he submitted his Gannongate article for publication.

6. Yeah. I pretty much take Korn with a grain of salt.
Stunning how well-hidden OM is to most.

7. If we are prepared to
dispense with those hypocrites who pose an obstruction to political change, we absolutely need to accept that there may be some straw-man "leftists" floating around in the information-gathering pool.

Some on the far Right, as well as the far Left may say, "Look, they're so confused that they're eating their own." However, a sheer glance at the enormity of the problem, and one can see that this - a problem of deception, and not a problem of Right vs. Left - transcends all political bias.

8. Vanden Heuvel is a harsh Bush critic.

10. Korn's an easy one
it must be quite the win/win when even after exposure or doubt forms, the "others" have to be doubted as well. And they must.
Look at the overt operators who claim a leftist background once their cover is blown or abandoned, like Horowitz, the numerous VOA sponsored corporatist news destroyers that seized Pacifica and so forth. Dont believe anything you read and only half of what you see.
