CIA media involvement

Anderson Cooper son of Gloria Vanderbilt:

[Fancy]

I've told all my employers about it over the years, but have chosen not to talk about it publicly. When I began to travel overseas to war zones as a reporter, I realized that some Jihadist might not understand that what people do for summer jobs in college doesn't mean they make a career out of it.

Over 25 years ago as a summer job doesn't seem to be a big deal.

That is naïve thinking fancy.

Not naïve - realistic. CIA advertises for students to join them.

Stumped for words? Nothing wrong with working at a government agency for the summer to make up your mind if you want to continue in that direction or not.

Cooper has also been active in many different reporting situations including the Tsunami damage in Sri Lanka, the elections in Baghdad, Pope John Paul’s death in 2005, the Niger famine from Maradi, hurricane Dennis from Pensacola, Florida and hurricane Katrina from New Orleans, all in 2005.
In the fall of 2005, Cooper was increasingly used in a variety of CNN news programs, and he became one of their star reporters and news anchors. One of the CNN officials called Anderson Cooper the anchorperson of the future for CNN. In 2007, Anderson Cooper had become one of CNN’s major news anchors. He signed a new multi-year contract with CNN, doubling his salary to $ 4 million per year.
Anderson Coopers’ book entitled, “Dispatches from the Edge” was released in May 2006, and immediately became a best seller. As a major news personality, Cooper was able to expand his visibility in the realm of the news world. In 2006, he signed a contract with CBS to become a contributor to the CBS Sixty Minute Show, starting with the 2007 season.
Cooper has been recognized in a variety of ways for his contributions. In 2005, he won the National Headliners Award for his tsunami coverage. He received an Emmy Award for his coverage of Princess Diana’s funeral. The Chicago Film Festival awarded him the Silver Plaque for his reporting from Sarajevo, Bosnia during the Bosnian war. He also received the Bronze Telly for his coverage of the famine in Somalia. And more recently, in 2006, he won three Emmy Awards for his coverage of several major stories from around the world.

He's had quite the illustrious career - just not with the C.I.A.

LOLOLOL - I love irony

The problem with the continual anti-government, conspiratorial ranting that gets promoted by a few of you on these boards is that soon people even ignore and dismiss well-founded criticism of government.

I appreciate your opening response steven Lloyd, I even felt you might be responding in manner in which further intelligent dialogue could take place. I reached the highlighted portion of your response and realized I was mistaken.

5 part series on Youtube called Counter Intelligence, very informative. While lacking the Cold War aspect of what the Soviets were doing, Its eye opening!
