Quote:
Q: To which extent do you think that the mass media are capable or even willing to defend themselves against campaigns of disinformation?
A: Whether they want depends on whether they are
dependent. During the hearings on the operative principles of the CIA at the end of the Vietnam war it became apparent that newspapers had received payments and that the intelligence services had placed their people in news agencies. The CIA can deploy their people in all news agencies of the world. Whenever the situation requires it, they can supply them with news which is so exclusive and „hot“ that it pushes other news into the background.

Therefore, the media is double edged weapon!
