>The Public's right to know is not always what the Public ends up
>getting. The Public frequently gets such one-sided, biased
>information -- and not just from the mass media. It's easy to have
>a long arm that protects the special interest groups: this kind
>of a "one world family" of insiders that is capable of affecting
>federal judges, U.S. attorneys, to slant or obstruct justice, to
>hide or cover up crucial information, and to interfere with our
>liberties.
>
>Daniel Sheehan, as much as any attorney in the United States, and
>the Christic Institute have taken it upon themselves to try to
>challenge some of these injustices and to give us the information
>that they have distilled from their work that gives us a different
>perspective. Unfortunately, rare is it that any of the mainstream
>media covers the work of the Christic Institute or of Daniel Sheehan.
>And if they did, it would be a very enlightened Public who would be
>benefiting from this. Welcome to our program, Daniel Sheehan.

>DANIEL SHEEHAN:
>Thank you, Gary.

>GARY NULL:
>Daniel, earlier on, one of our guests was talking about -- and I'd
>like for you to follow through on this theme -- that what we're told
>in the media (and what we're told officially from Government sources)
>and what is the truth are frequently at varying degrees against
>each other. Give us one specific .....
>
>DANIEL SHEEHAN:
>That's absolutely true. There has been a major campaign on the part
>of the Central Intelligence Agency, for example, to place Central
>Intelligence Agency agents, trained agents, IN various news media
>posts. We've found the documents on this. It was called "Operation
>Mocking Bird". And they placed Central Intelligence Agency operatives
>in places like TIME Magazine and LIFE Magazine, the New York Times,
>inside CBS [TV] and ABC [TV] News.
>
>Originally, the intent of "Operation Mocking Bird" was to make certain
>that these major media outlets reflected an adequately anti-communist
>perspective. And then, of course, as they became entrenched and
>in-place, any time the Central Intelligence Agency wanted a story
>killed or distorted they would just contact their agents inside.
>Now, they have bragged openly in private memos back and forth inside
>the Agency about how proud they are of having really important
>"assets" inside virtually every major news media in the United States.
>And I've encountered this repeatedly.
>
>For example, the Chief National Security Correspondent for TIME
>Magazine, Bruce Van Voorst, is a regular Central Intelligence
>Agency officer. It turns out that Ben Bradlee from the Washington
>Post was a regular Central Intelligence Agency officer prior to
>coming to his post at the Washington Post.
>Bob Woodward at the Washington Post was the Point-Briefer for
>U.S. Naval Intelligence of the Joint Chiefs-of-Staff before he went
>over to the Washington Post.
>
>We find these people constantly in the news media and, as I may
>have pointed out to you in one of your shows, when the New York
>Times was refusing to print any information about Oliver North and
>Richard Secord [President Reagan's assistants], Albert Hakim and
>Rob Owen, and all of these other men who, throughout 1985 and
>1986, were engaged in this MASSIVE criminal conspiracy to violate
>the Boland Amendment prohibiting any weapons shipments to the
>Contras, and who were involved in smuggling TOW missiles to Iran ....
>as this information was being communicated to the New York Times by
>sources that we had, the New York Times absolutely refused to print
>any of this. And the reason for it was, according to Keith Schneider
>-- who was one of the reporters assigned to at least address this
>stuff and look into it .... he said that they were refusing to
>print any of it because their high-level sources inside the Central
>Intelligence Agency refused to confirm the stories.
>
>Now, that kind of relationship between self-conscious "assets" of
>the Covert Operations Director of the Central Intelligence Agency,
>a political police force on an international level, if you will,
>and an economic police force to protect the ostensible economic
>interests of United States industries .... to place those people
>inside a news media -- which, under the First Amendment, ostensibly
>has the responsibility to critique and investigate potential
>injustices on the part of the State, inside the Government --
>is an extraordinarily dangerous development here in the United States.
>
>GARY NULL:
>Thank you for that insight. Could you also give us some
>understanding of one case in particular (if you could highlight it)
>that you're privy to, to show how they can export a form of terrorism,
>how they can support movements to destabilize DEMOCRACIES in any country
>whose position they don't choose to support, where multi-national
>corporations' interests may feel threatened and, as a result,
>they'll use our various branches of Government to thwart the local
>populace, invade their sovereignty, disrupt their complete
>political system, and how they manipulate the stories in the
>Press so that it's NEVER the way that we're told it is.
