“Journalist” Admits To Being A Government Propagandist On CNN

One knows a journalist’s ethics are questionable when a corporate, mainstream outlet like CNN calls them out for subservience to the establishment’s agenda. This is exactly what happened to a Sunday Times reporter over a recently published story claiming whistleblower Edward Snowden’s leaks compromised the safety of government agents.

The original story was quickly lambasted by news outlets for its lack of sourcing and its incorrect claims. In spite of this— or possibly because it— one of the article’s authors, Tom Harper, appeared on CNN to clarify the report. What followed was an embarrassing display of modern journalism where Harper clumsily admitted that he is a mouthpiece for the British government.
