so I recall, Hosenball was thrown out of England as a security threat because he was a comrade of admitted Communist operative for both scuba and Russia.
Isikoff was a co-writer for Newsweek, if I remember accurately also with old SDS/IPS marxist propagandist.
This is the journalistic form of a treasonous red circle jerk with America as it’s target in the middle.
Correct as usual on both counts. Early in his journalism career, Isikoff worked for States News Service aka Connecticut News Service, a left-wing news agency started by Leland J. Schwartz and Howard Abramson that merged with Ralph Nader’s Capitol Hill News Service in 1978. Later he teamed up with Joseph Wilson’s coconspirator David Corn to assist John Kerry’s campaign.
On Hosenball:
“The reporter is Mark Hosenball, 25 years old, who has lived here for about six years and has worked for the tabloid Evening Standard since July. His editor, Charles Wintour, called Mr. Hosenball “a most dilligent, prolific and intelligent reporter” and said that he had hired him over 100 other applicants. . .
At a news conference this evening, Mr. Hosenball speculated that articles he had written for his previous employer, Time Out magazine, an entertainment guide with an anti‐Establishment news section, could have provoked the deportation notice. He wrote reports for Time Out about a defense communications center, the troubles in Northern Ireland and the Central Intelligence Agency.
In one article about the C.I.A., he listed names purported to be of agents operating in Britain. Last December, after publication of a similar list by an English‐language newspaper in Athens, the chief C.I.A. agent there, Richard S. Welsh, was shot and killed. . .”
Hosenball was deported at the same time as Philip Agee, alluded to in the last paragraph above.
