ABC’s Jonathan Karl is an Alumnus of a Conservative Media Training Program
ABCs Jonathan Karl is an Alumnus of a Conservative Media Training Program
ABCs senior political correspondent Jonathan Karl, of the now infamous Benghazi email lie, is an alumnus of a conservative media training program Collegiate Network. He stands now accused of making himself vulnerable to being used for political purposes, as he still refuses to apologize for taking the word of a Republican and passing it off as having access to the actual documents.
Fair Org reported:
Karl came to mainstream journalism via the Collegiate Network, an organization primarily devoted to promoting and supporting right-leaning newspapers on college campuses (Extra!, 9-10/91)such as the Rutgers paper launched by the infamous James OKeefe (Political Correction, 1/27/10). The network, founded in 1979, is one of several projects of the Intercollegiate Studies Institute, which seeks to strengthen conservative ideology on college campuses. William F. Buckley was the ISIs first president, and the current board chair is American Spectator publisher Alfred Regnery. Several leading right-wing pundits came out of Collegiate-affiliated papers, including Ann Coulter, Dinesh DSouza, Michelle Malkin, Rich Lowry and Laura Ingraham (Washington Times, 11/28/04).
The Collegiate Network also provides paid internships and fellowships to place its members at corporate media outlets or influential Beltway publications; 2010-11 placements include the Hill, Roll Call, Dallas Morning News and USA Today. The programs highest-profile alum is Karl, who was a Collegiate fellow at the neoliberal New Republic magazine.
CN has received funding from the Sarah Scaife Foundation, Scaife Family Foundation, The Carthage Foundation, Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation, John M. Olin Foundation, and the JM Foundation. But its administered by ISI. ISI claims to be non-partisan and tax exempt (cough), but read Reagans thanks to ISI for the troops, By the time the Reagan Revolution marched into Washington, I had the troops I neededthanks in no small measure to the work with American youth ISI had been doing since 1953.

The only forum that does not allow dupes on DU is LBN.
