LARRY JOHNSON, IN HIS OWN WORDS, PART II

Byron York
The Corner

Update: Larry Johnson has now amended, slightly, his post on Karl Rove. There are no major changes, but apparently Johnson realized he had forgotten to compare Rove to Joseph Goebbels, and he has now corrected that oversight.

The Media's Favorite CIA Guy

Media Blog
Stephen Spruiell Reporting

A few weeks ago Byron York took a close look at the media's favorite source for commentary on the CIA, pre-war WMD and the Plame leak case: Larry Johnson. This week, blogger George Gooding (a.k.a. Seixon) — who has broken previous stories about Johnson's support for Truthout laughingstock Jason Leopold — reports that Johnson is once again associating with the most bizarre and dishonest elements of the online left.

He concludes:
    Lastly, Larry Johnson mingles with Leopold and [Raw Story 
editor Larisa] Alexandrovna. Johnson has sought to protect
Leopold’s credibility. Johnson is a contributor for
Alexandrovna. There is evidence that Leopold uses Johnson
or other members of VIPS as sources for his fraudulent
stories. Now we have evidence that he gets involved with
these conspiracy theory witch hunts conducted by Leopold
and Alexandrovna to silence their critics. This is the
type of person the media goes to for serious comment on
terrorism? Someone who will, on a whim, believe completely
ridiculous things simply because Leopold says so? Doesn’t
Mr. Johnson have better things to do at his office than
send emails to a woman alleging that she is a man employed
by DieBold while peddling insane stories about a DOD plant
being concocted by Larisa Alexandrovna?
    Al Gore, I think I found your digital Brown Shirts, and 
they’re all firmly planted in the Joe Wilson Truth
Movement.
The media continue to go to Johnson for commentary on serious issues. A Nexis search of TV transcripts reveals that he has appeared on CNN as a source as recently as June 18. Surely reporters can find a more credible source for commentary on the CIA.
