How the NY Times & U.S. Government Worked Together to Suppress James Risen’s Post-9/11 Reporting

democracynow.org - We continue our interview with former New York Times reporter James Risen, who left the paper in August to join The Intercept as senior national security correspondent. This week, he published a 15,000-word story headlined The Biggest Secret: My Life as a New York Times Reporter in the Shadow of the War on Terror.

Noam Chomsky wrote a book about this. This has been going on in the US since forever.

[@dejayrezme8617]

@federal reserve You'd say the same about the founding fathers.

[@CarlosMartinez-kp6mi]

great american right there. his actions speak louder than most journalist have the balls to commit.

[@lumpy0100]

Thanks Democracy Now!:D

[@grewntd]

I think it's great that investigative journalist like him exist, but if we the people don't follow through with action, we are all complicit

[@apologiaalcibiades2227]

Easier to say than to organize unfortunately

[@carlosamonimus8106]

What about wikileak and Assange that is in jailed waiting for murder hand of empire by imperial media

[@carlosamonimus8106]

Really he is free even to talk about Asssange who is victimized and abuse for those that participated in consense and validated the propaganda of security state

[@ranevc]

Stop buying New York Times?

[@maddrass175]

@@ranevc - IF we the sheeple understood the implications... IF we the sheeple had a spine, or cared... THAT is EXACTLY what WE would have done the VERY NEXT DAY to the NY Times and ALL its subsidiaries. IF, we were paying attention IF, we cared about our future IF, we understood the true nature of government IF ... IF ...

[@gunnarg58]

The New York times was tested, and they failed. How great that Risen has moved to the Intercept

[@andresvirgen6117]

Wow, This is like the Real Life " Lord of War"- Behid the Scenes! Kudos for this American Patriot!

[@ey2496]

When you watch this on April 2020 after every sh*t trump and the gop have done.

[@robertrichard6107]

Trumptard is just another CIA puppet going back to Reagan/ Bush '80 stirring up the Middle East more for Israel like LBJ did in '67. Jared Kushner is going to make Kissinger look like a saint if Trump is allowed to get pass GO in Nov. '20.

[@paulbrooks2087]

Thanks always Pacifica and Amy

[@MrDXRamirez]

If wealth and money is absent in your life and you remain unconnected you will face jail time at some point in the course of your life is consistent with American domesticate social policy that promotes if you are rich and connected your life will not be ruined.

[@nicholasdarraugh7626]

''the paper is now much more aggressive...they require a much higher bar...''>> Bulls...! NYTimes as the establishment rag, is now posturing vis-a-vis Trump, while still cheer-leading the Empire. Amy Goodman should had followed up with putting things in context!

[@joyces2222]

So who writes legislation regarding how this is handled? If someone ' leaks' it means they are concerned. The leak should be evaluated , but who could we trust to handle it ethically? No one in high government really pays for their crime's , this has gone on for years. This is not just this last 2 Administrations.

[@ivandobsky4103]

3 min 30 sec - when will people wake up ??

[@r.pres.4121]

When Americans stop being so self absorbed.

[@patroe8547]

We need the whistle blowers in the press, such as this man! This free speech in the press.

[@ORDINARYCHILDHOODMIX]

unfortunately i can not hear any audio for this

[@larslarsen1444]

A lot of people think the Nytimes is a propaganda machine. Reader's digest and National Geographic too

[@KevinGlore]

Cool cool Amy Goodman, that issue is thought,

[@richardburt9812]

Link to part one?

[@EndPoliticalCorruption]

Seriously, why do so many clips, across many channels, omit this? It's in _their_ best interest as well!

[@skip530768]

I hope Amy learns from her interview and stops believing the gov without evidence. It is pretty bad when Dr Paul is better at uncovering the real news in Syria and Iran than the woman and channel I used to rely on for truth. I must say though that this interview and the one with the intercept glen greenwall at least give me hope. Hope that the real Amy is back.

[@lordzobey4602]

5/27/20 Shit even worse now so where is the book for the last 4 year's?

[@SilviaDelariva1419]

My heart is smiling, thanks to you. If it helps, I allowed the U.S. walk away with it due to National Security; instead, I encouraged technology to hurry up and catch up with the oldest signal. The man showed up on a video with Obama agree to catch-up with the advanced technology. Then, Edward Snowden appears. I still had to consider older stories. My stress was on foreign signals threatening the U.S. Current days, I viewed the country threatened I decided to make noice.

[@jonward7216]

Free Smowden!

[@davidmurphy5405]

Bill brought the Tienemen square general into the White House as an advisor ...jesus christ almighty

[@richieroma]

hyped threats indeed!

[@carlosamonimus8106]

Funny it's always what the organization do with all citizens

[@mamfloyd]

MOSSAD did 911.

[@Urbanthick]

Thank you for outing Obama. So many let him off the hook when it comes to the wrong he's done. The drones, wire taps against Americans etc.

[@waindayoungthain2147]

How’s the justice happening by the CIA and FBI was? It’s no communication with your opinions justify are right and we’re going to the public opinions by yours to be people thinking 💭. Let’s try by our way of morality living to choosing togetherness with new cultures and our children living in the future. What’s ever race organization for multilateral cooperation. Please.

[@seedplanter7173]

How about....no? The word multilateral gives me the new world order creepy vibe.

[@carlosamonimus8106]

It's for real not intended consequential ; you are kidding it's precise the intended it's a crazy naive or bullshit himself and everybody else

[@1828tolstoy]

The NYT has done some great things but for the most part it's a joke.

[@akeleven]

Vote third party

[@mynameismynameis666]

WAY LATE AMY ... still did not touch the hot issue. hardened, concrete&gypsum protected steel melting hot issue

[@shumeister1059]

Right? 911 is such an old news. Every wars that followed never made sense, other than there's few that profited.

[@matthewgarrow6982]

This guy is a propagandist trying to reinvent himself. Also a boring interview with nothing retroactively actionable. Sad he has a platform here.
