I had been a loyal Huff Po reader since it's inception, but now I only check into to see the propaganda tactics. Same with the NYTimes and Washington Post, both of which I had read for over 3 decades. We are absolutely in the midst of a widespread disinformation campaign and I suggest keeping tabs on the MSM messaging as it relates not only to 'fake news', but moves by Trump, as well. There is SO MUCH going on behind the scenes, it's palpable.
I also used to give a shit about the WaPo (grew up in DC in the 70's & 80's). In more recent times I learned that that sonofabitch Ben Bradlee was essentially a CIA asset. And of course Allen Dulles (CIA director) used to openly brag about how he could get stories added or subtracted pretty much at will to/from the nation's top press outlets.
Bingo... ' Family of Secrets' by Russ Baker tipped me off to the WAPO as a CIA mouthpiece and how it was used to impeach Nixon for meddling in the JFK / Bay of Pigs cases. I firmly now believe that Woodward is also CIA.
