Leon Panetta, once director of CIA, explained bluntly that the agency influenced foreign media outlets ahead of elections in order to “change attitudes within the country.” The method was to “acquire media within a country or within a region that could very well be used for being able to deliver a specific message or work to influence those that may own elements of the media to be able to cooperate, work with you in delivering that message.” The CIA has been running such ops to influence foreign elections continuously since the end of WWII.
The goal is to control information as a tool of influence. Sometimes the control is very direct, operating the media outlet yourself. The problem is this is easily exposed, destroying credibility.

Over the next few months, we’ll be taking an in-depth look at each of the Jets’ rookies. However, before we start, there was one more veteran addition made that we need to break down.
Wide receiver Matt Cole is 24 and listed at 5’10” and 197 pounds. He was undrafted out of McKendree and has only played in one NFL game, in which he only played on special teams, although he did record two tackles. He was claimed off waivers from the 49ers on Wednesday.
Background
Cole didn’t receive any offers from FBS schools, despite having a good career as a slot receiver and cornerback in high school. His offensive numbers had been somewhat restricted because he played in a run-based offense.
