The second is the damage to the credibility and independence of a free press which may be caused by covert relationships with the U.S. journalists and media organizations.

We talk about a free press. These people hide, they make a lot of money off the media. They hide behind the slogans of free press, and then they can come out with crap like that. It's just garbage. It's insulting to the readers.

In examining the CIA's past and present use of the U.S. media, the Committee finds two reasons for concern. The first is the potential, inherent in covert media operations, for manipulating or incidentally misleading the American public.

It's funny; we never had anything like credibility. Even though we all have some sort of punk-rock background, but so what? I really don't care about that. What's credibility anyway? Who has credibility?

Media
An exposure to media, the press
Is dangerous, an overexposure, worst damaging,
You lose an image, you lose yourself,
And people would not mind, who are you and what is your name,
how did you do it, not what did you do, and that would be the end of you,
I do not talk to media since then, it has always the last say, I shy away from an interviewer from a media coverage, from that writer
Who smiles at me, taking carefully what I am saying
On a certain legal question, only to find out,
The following day, he says what I did not really mean in that proper context,
In what I said to him and which he twisted,
I had that bad experience, and
Had not recovered for years, walking in the city,
Without my head, all to my shame and loss,
I did not mind, my deeds my fingers will speak for me
Eventually, and my conscience shall tell my vocabulary avenging finally that
The better plural form of media, after all,
Is mediocre,
of course, its correct singular form is still
Media. How can I argue with you, medium man?

Control Domination By Violence Alias CIA World Net
Why does the covert
Cream Icing Agency
insist on killing writers
journalists novelists
with a mandate necessary
a pulse world conscience
in phony fake suicides
hardly original Old Bean?
Or creative use of talent
why not flip recruit a few?
Makes a nice change from
megalomaniac dictators
corrupt foreign governments
renowned for suppression
torture corruption civil rights
violations of their own citizens.
The free pen is indeed
mightier than the sword
but you already know
that wet work G Man.
Is that why your agency fears
independent voice of integrity?
Ethics streets above dirty deeds
black ops covert secret CIA policy.
Integrity writers must reclaim
high moral sacrosanct ground
government policy ends justifies
means left so dismally vacant.

Our most tragic error may have been our inability to establish a rapport and a confidence with the press and television with the communication media. I don't think the press has understood me.

When Bush first got elected, the very first time there was talk of going to war with Iraq, the mainstream media gave his position total credibility. I didn't get it then, and I don't get it now.
Relationships
Relationships!
Now she is gone forever but,
Her first name was like my first night in bed with her;
And of her mind so free and of her love so sweet,
But now she is gone forever.
Relationships!
And of her figure like the Penthouse;
But the Devil in her City was like,
The harvest time with her sweet love!
And it was like the old school and the new school in arms.
Relationships!
Longing to come home with her once again like last night;
But it was all over and she is gone forever!
She was my lover and of her mind so free and so sweet,
But some relationships do not last forever.

The smarter the journalists are, the better off society is. For to a degree, people read the press to inform themselves-and the better the teacher, the better the student body.

Credibility
If statements are made,
Regarding that which will be done...
Do them!
Or at least admit...
You are not committed.
Your credibility is at stake!
And some make a mistake,
That dismissing this...
Does not jeopardize relationships.
And in some places...
Those of authority,
Have 'chosen' to disgrace their own reputations.
For a fee and leisure.
To please temporary temptations!

Freedom of the press is not questioned when investigative journalism unearths scandals, But that does not mean that every classified state document should be made available to journalists.

Blow up them firecrackers.
Light up the sky.
Because it's Happy Independence Day.
I've been meaning to say..
Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy, Happ..
Happy Independence Day, Happy Independence Day.
Happy Independence Day.Happy Independence Day.
Sparklers glowing.Stars and stripes showing.
Nothing but happy people.Celebrating the Fourth Of July.
The birth of our country.The birth of our flag.
Because our founding fathers.Always wanted it this way.
Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy, Happ..
Happy Independence Day.Happy Independence Day.
Happy Independence Day.Happy Independence Day.
Fifty stars and thirteen stripes.
The flag still flies.The American way.
Old Glory's the name.Old Glory's the same.
Join with the crowd, for the American dream.
So blow up them firecrackers.
Light up the sky.
Because it's Happy Independence Day.
I've been meaning to say.
Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy, Happ..
Happy Independence Day.Happy Independence Day.
Happy Independence Day.Happy Independence Day.

But if Russia is to be part of this larger zone of peace it cannot bring into it its imperial baggage. It cannot bring into it a policy of genocide against the Chechens, and cannot kill journalists, and it cannot repress the mass media.
