'The CIA watched these developments closely, collaborating where it could with outlets who wanted to challenge Webb’s reporting. '
'It also sparked an aggressive backlash from the nation’s most powerful media outlets, which devoted considerable resources to discredit author Gary Webb’s reporting. '
'Scooped in its own backyard, the California paper assigned no fewer than 17 reporters to pick apart Webb’s reporting. '
'Dujmovic also pointed out that much of what was reported in “Dark Alliance” was not new. '
'And documents newly released by the CIA provide fresh context to the “Dark Alliance” saga — information that paints an ugly portrait of the mainstream media at the time. '
