Friday 08 January 2010

CIA - one of Morning Star's biggest fans

Wednesday 29 April 2009

US spooks at the CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, were revealed on Wednesday as the third biggest visitors behind London and Manchester to the Morning Star website.

Webmaster Carl Worswick said the site always welcomes new visitors.

"It's good to see that even the CIA recognise that the Morning Star is the only place to read the stories that the corporate press are afraid to print," he said.

 

 

Morning Star - Daily Newspaper of the Left

morning_star_logoThe Morning Star occupies a unique place in the history of British and world politics in the 20th and 21st centuries. Founded on January 1, 1930, it is still the only English-language socialist daily newspaper published in the world. It is run by a Cooperative Society, the Peoples Press Printing Society. It is supported by the STUC and all major unions. Anyone can become a shareholder for £5. The current policy of the Society is that the columns of the paper be open to all on the Left and that the paper’s editorial line be based on Britain’s Road to Socialism.
