[from The Intercept]
A prominent national security reporter for the Los Angeles Times routinely
submitted drafts and detailed summaries of his stories to CIA press
handlers prior to publication, according to documents obtained by The
Intercept.
Email exchanges between CIA public affairs officers and Ken Dilanian, now
an Associated Press intelligence reporter who previously covered the CIA
for the Times, show that Dilanian enjoyed a closely collaborative
relationship with the agency, explicitly promising positive news coverage
and sometimes sending the press office entire story drafts for review
prior to publication. In at least one instance, the CIAâ EURO (tm)s reaction
appears to have led to significant changes in the story that was
eventually published in the Times.
