Covert UK FCO program

Well, I think it's probably safe to say it may not be all that covert anymore.:hmmm:

Quote:

“The UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) have sponsored Reuters and the BBC to conduct a series of covert programs aimed at promoting regime change inside Russia and undermining its government across Eastern Europe and Central Asia, according to a series of leaked documents.
... The BBC and Reuters portray themselves as an unimpeachable, impartial, and authoritative source of world news,” Williamson continued, “but both are now hugely compromised by these disclosures. Double standards like this just bring establishment politicians and corporate media hacks into further disrepute.”

I would be very disappointed in any intelligence agency not using media to shape opinions. That is, I'd be disappointed on behalf of the various Governments funding agencies not doing their jobs. That's foreign policy for you... and domestic policies.
