I.F. Stone: Press Icon, Soviet Agent

The late anchorman Peter Jennings eulogized I.F. Stone as "a journalist's journalist" upon his 1989 passing. From Harvard to Berkeley, journalism programs have named fellowships and awards for I.F. Stone. This week's revelation from scholars Alexander Vassiliev, John Earl Haynes, and Harvey Klehr that the archives of Soviet intelligence (atop past incriminating evidence from a KGB general and the Venona intercepts) identify this "journalist's journalist" as an agent of the Soviet Union puts Stone, and his fan club, in another light. Read my piece @ the American Spectator to learn why the exposure of liberal icon Izzy Stone as a Communist agent tarnishes not only Izzy Stone, but his media admirers as well.
