Actually, Dave, there are credible allegations from more than one source
that IF Stone was a long-time Soviet agent.  That puts a different spin on
his recounting of the Gulf of Tonkin incident and suggests that ethical
issues surrounding undisclosed ties on the part of "independent" journalists
are not new.

Actually, one of America's greatest investigative journalists and
commentators, Isadore Stone, unable to get steady employment at traditional
publication, started his own one-man weekly in 1952,

In 1964, Stone was the only journalist to challenge the Johnson
Administration's account of the Gulf of Tonkin incident, which was used to
increase America's presence in the Vietnam War (gee, this is starting to
sound familiar...).
