      Lol, noted Twitter troll and “political satirist” @MollyJongFast hosts a podcast alongside someone called @CIAspygirl (former CIA operative and “comedian”) plus longtime Clinton operative Philippe Reines. The modern media ecosystem is so laughably corrupt, it’s incrediblepic.twitter.com/jB4OUf3PUx

      Reines is a notoriously mendacious Clinton henchman, but by partnering with him on a podcast, Molly and “CIA spy girl” were granted the honor this week of “interviewing” none other than Hillary herself. Once again, the contemporary political media is a wildly corrupt joke

      The extent to which US media has been subordinated by security state officials is stunning. Podcasts, etc. provide additional avenues for this co-optation, so it's more pervasive than ever before. They assume quasi-journalistic authority and frame news events. Amazingly insidious

      Molly is either incapable or unwilling to acknowledge that she's part of the broad media effort to afford quasi-journalistic credibility to intelligence officials, enabling them to shape public opinion. You know, the thing the CIA has tried to do throughout its entire history

      Instead, Molly and her extremely cool friends just adopt the same old tedious pose of Extremely Online Funny posturing, which provides a cover to deny and/or ignore that they're actively facilitating a full-scale corruption of the contemporary media ecosystem. Very cool stuff!

      It's also hilarious that @MollyJongFast is a "contributor" to The Bulwark, Bill Kristol's new outfit founded in the aftermath of the Weekly Standard's tragic death.

      A huge number of CIA/FBI/NSA officials have entered the media bloodstream since 2016, because publications/networks have promoted, valorized, and even *hired" them. The officials then marshal this exposure into huge social media platforms, enabling them to shape public opinion

          Because the current media ecosystem is so fractured and diffuse, these individuals end up being imbued with quasi-journalistic authority; the average reader/listener/viewer/follower generally cannot distinguish them from other media figures. That's why today is unlike past eras

          the marriage of National Security Dems and Neocons, bureaucrats and apparatchiks threatened by political insurgencies on the left and right. They cheated Sanders, so ended up losing to Trump. It's the sort of strategic genius that wrecked Iraq, Libya, Syria, Ukraine.

          And, incredibly, there are people who believe them without reservation. Kristol is a living barometer of what not to do. He tirelessly argued in favor of literally every foreign policy disaster of the past 20 plus. He's the Larry Summers of foreign policy.

          Should be a period of at least 5 years after leaving government of restricted media roles. Too many inherent conflicts of interest, and too much risk of destabilizing policy initiatives when there is a power change.
