On another thread I have looked at how Hal Hendrix of the Miami Times was a CIA asset in the late 1950s and early 1960s. It seems that at the time the CIA had a strong influence over what was published in Miami newspapers.
In August, 1975, Taylor Branch and George Criles III published an article in Harper's Magazine entitled "The Kennedy Vendetta". The article quoted a former JM/WAVE agent as saying: "A paper like the Miami Herald would have one or two reporters with jurisdiction for Cuba, and we would give them access to the station. So we would feed them information and give them a career out of handouts. The guys learn not to hurt you. Only occasionally do you give them a big lie, and then only for a good reason. The paper was always willing to keep things quiet for us." |
