New Yorker neglects to mention if editors and publishers were involved. The word "publish" occurs 4 times, "editor" nil. Two of the CIA authors wrote for New Yorker. Who was the editor at the time? Meta inquiry would then wonder if this very article by New Yorker is yet another CIA article, to "manage perception".
What is the perception?
'Cold War antics' of a 'bygone era'. Or is CIA still manipulating journals and content? New Yorker is silent on this topic.
- lylejantzi3rd 2y agoHow many major news outlets are covering the latest scandal involving Neil Gaiman? Somebody's still managing perception. The question is: who? And why?

- lylejantzi3rd 2y agoIt's much more than that, which you wouldn't know, because nobody's covering it. Which is my point. In a time when the major news outlets love to publish anything even hinting at salacious, this one gets a pass.

- temporarely 2y agoFalse dissent and manipulating and taking control of dissent is the goal not covering up scandals. Spook intervention in social mind space is strategic not tactical in nature. The goal is the ability to control and steer collective conversation. To take control of dissent, place its leaders, and pen its 'thoughts'.
- robxorb 2y agoThis self-contradicts. Covering up a scandal could well be strategic, and serve to control and steer collective conversation.
- TechDebtDevin 2y agoThe headline literally says two accusations of NON CONSENSUAL acts.
- HideousKojima 2y agoAs someone who personally despises Gaiman's works and personal politics: the allegations are extremely weak, and severely undermined by the alleged victims' text messages to him the morning after alleged assaults.
- lylejantzi3rd 2y agoThe veracity of the allegations are immaterial to the conversation. Allegations have been made by two women. The press love this stuff. But nobody's covering it. Why?
- nicce 2y agoI see tons or articles with low effort search. Anyway, allegations like these as extremly common if there is any party with a lot of money. Let’s wait the actual juridical process if that happens.
- lylejantzi3rd 2y agoYeah? Care to provide some links? Keep in mind we're talking about the mainstream media, not blogs.

- lylejantzi3rd 2y agoThat's one. Any others? You said "tons." Go back to the #metoo coverage from 2018. How many mainstream media outlets covered those accusations?
- batch12 2y agoThey probably don't see money in it as most people don't know who he is.
