While the suspicions concerning this agency vary from the conspiracy belief that they orchestrated the assassination of John F. Kennedy to that they are in direct communication with aliens, there are instances when their secret activities have been found to be illegal and all to real, as evidenced by assassinations that they admit to doing following congressional banning and to their unsuccessful experimentation with LSD as a truth serum. LSD is not the only drug that has been tied to CIA activities, as rumors both Heroin and Cocaine have also crossed the historical trail of the agency, some merely alleged, others substantiated. In August ofl996, Gary Webb of the San Jose Mercury News wrote a three part series of articles under the title of "Dark Alliance" that would seek to firmly substantiate the connection of the Crack cocaine explosion in Los Angeles during the Mid-eighties to dealers associated with and funding the Contra army of Nicaragua, which was also bank rolled off and on by the CIA.

    A Real Alternative? – How Alternative News Media Coverage Compares to the Mainstream in New Zealand Jay Acton 2019 School of Communication Studies Faculty of Design and Creative Technologies A thesis submitted to the Auckland University of Technology in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of a Master of Communication Studies 1 ABSTRACT The public receives most of its information about important national and international events through the news media. Since the advent of the internet, mainstream news media has experienced a decline in its audience as the number and popularity of alternative media outlets has dramatically increased. What the mainstream and alternative news media include in their stories and how they frame these stories has implications for citizens and society. This study compares how news is covered by online text-based alternative and mainstream news in New Zealand using quantitative content analysis. Article length, Context Factors, Number, Type, and Balance of Sources, as well as Dominant Media Frames were measured in coverage of 25 news events across four mainstream and four alternative New Zealand news outlets. The research showed that, compared to the alternative news media, the mainstream news was more consistent, and slightly longer in average article length; used approximately 25% more context factors; relied heavily on government sources versus alternative news reliance on expert sources, and used approximately 30% more sources overall; were 30% more ‘balanced’ in their use of sources, and approximately seven times less likely to run a story using an unopposed source. Furthermore, the research showed that the ‘conflict’ frame dominated mainstream media news stories – wherein two or more sides to a story are presented - while the dominant frame in alternative news media stories was that of ‘attribution of responsibility’.

  • The Contras, Cocaine, and Covert Operations
    The Contras, Cocaine, and Covert Operations National Security Archive Electronic Briefing Book No. 2 The Contras, Cocaine, and Covert Operations An August, 1996, series in the San Jose Mercury News by reporter Gary Webb linked the origins of crack cocaine in California to the contras, a guerrilla force backed by the Reagan administration that attacked Nicaragua's Sandinista government during the 1980s. Webb's series, "The Dark Alliance," has been the subject of intense media debate, and has focused attention on a foreign policy drug scandal that leaves many questions unanswered. This electronic briefing book is compiled from declassified documents obtained by the National Security Archive, including the notebooks kept by NSC aide and Iran-contra figure Oliver North, electronic mail messages written by high-ranking Reagan administration officials, memos detailing the contra war effort, and FBI and DEA reports. The documents demonstrate official knowledge of drug operations, and collaboration with and protection of known drug traffickers. Court and hearing transcripts are also included. Special thanks to the Arca Foundation, the Ruth Mott Fund, the Samuel Rubin Foundation, and the Fund for Constitutional Government for their support. Contents: ● Documentation of Official U.S. Knowledge of Drug Trafficking and the Contras ● Evidence that NSC Staff Supported Using Drug Money to Fund the Contras ● U.S. Officials and Major Traffickers: Manuel Noriega José Bueso Rosa ● FBI/DEA Documentation ● Testimony of Fabio Ernesto Carrasco, 6 April 1990 ● National Security Archive Analysis and Publications Click on the document icon next to each description to view the document. http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB2/nsaebb2.htm (1 of 7)8/15/2008 5:03:55 PM The Contras, Cocaine, and Covert Operations Documentation of Official U.S.
