The other term for "non-state hostile intelligence service" is "free press".


I caught that as well. It really gives the fake news meme a horrific twist.

Especially in the light of the all the warmongering in the mainstream papers. https://theintercept.com/2017/04/07/the-spoils-of-war-trump-...

Yet everyone I know on the right and left is anti-war. The alt-right of all people even had a huge protest in DC.

Its beginning to feel like Iraq WMD's again. Sad times.


If a newspaper was getting a lot of their information from foreign intelligence services and were using it specifically to try to weaken US organizations I think they would've gone past being "free press". The CIA seems to think that is what wikileaks is doing (whether intentionally or unintentionally)
