Washington Post and New York Times report how the State Department wants the public to view geopolitical issues. They're useful since they sometimes will divulge information that's contrary or denote changes in policy. Washington Post was the first in 2002 to divulge that USAID was financing Al Qaeda military schools in Pakistan and publishing the jihadist textbooks at the Center for Afghanistan Studies of the University of Nebraska. They also disclosed in 2006 that Al Qaeda in Iraq was a US military psyop. That was confirmed by Iraq's arrest of British SAS soldiers dressed up as beduoin while trying to plant IEDs in the Shia city of Basra to frame it on Al Qaeda. It became obvious that the US was engaged in covert ops and disinformation to stoke a sectarian war in Iraq to destabilize Baghdad and force them to seek US protection. Gleen Greenwald used to be a reporter for the Guardian UK. He published a series on the global surveillance by the US, Britain, and the Five Eyes Network of English-speaking governments. The prime minister threatened the newspapers with takeover or shutdown. Guardian is now one of the most right-leaning papers. David Cameron backs spy chief's attack on Guardian but BBC buries criticism of Left-wing paper \| Daily Mail Online The Independent with reporters Patrick Cockburn and Robert Fisk also offered coverage of the wars. They were the paper that disclosed that the US and 7 allied government including the UK and Egypt had set up training bases for jihadist rebels in Eastern Libya near Sirte. They also disclosed that British SAS soldiers were embedded with the jihadist rebels in Tripoli to topple the Gaddafi government. It was pretty obvious that US or British special forces had to be involved on the ground since NATO was providing air support to the jihadist rebels using laser-guided missiles. There was a site called the Off Guardian that critiques the news but the quality has gone down over the years.
