Communism Methodology for Dummies:
1) Identify established civic groups, companies, parties, trade organizations, etc., especially those with good past reputations.
2) Infilitrate.
3) Take over leadership roles.
4) Drive out active opponents, leaving just the passive elements.
5) Exploit the past reputation of the entity while most of the public is unaware of the takeover.
6) Use the platform to advocate for communist policies and perspectives, and to create rules, lobby for political influence using the org’s resources, etc., as if the leadership had real support from a vast membership.
7) When/if the public catches on, abandon the hollowed out shell; move on to destroy others.
For an example, see National Association of PTAs. Not sure the name, but the school librarians group
Yet here is how the Associated Press reported the breaking news...
I read the article, which presents many examples of AP leftness.
What I was hoping to see was the answer to the headline: WHO radicalized the Associated Press?
It would seem that a journalist could research and reveal the names of those who took over management, hired like-minded reporters and editors, when this happened, how the evolution of news in the internet age added in, etc. There is an important story in that; whereas, we already know the AP is just another DNC spin machine. Perhaps Becket Adams will write it as a follow-up.
(Please be assured that my criticism of the article is not a criticism of your work posting material on FR, which I greatly appreciate.)
Can’t remember it ever being otherwise.
...anyone in this day and age who still sees them as unbiased "news" organizations...are either naive as hell, ignorant as hell...or a products of said brain-fornication.
