That's really sad; I remember when CP was much better and Jeffrey St. Clair's 
politics were properly ordered -- not being distracted by personalities and focusing 
more on issues instead.

Is that shift funding-related? Is CP looking for funding from some outlet like the 
Ford Foundation (which funds Democracy Now and helps explain its sharp shift from 
exposing war motivations and debunking neocon lies to promoting war and repeating 
neocon lies[1]) or some other neolib/neocon-friendly source so that CP can continue?


[1] See Russiagate coverage and alleged Douma "gas attack" coverage as a couple of 
examples. These happen to be among the chief reasons Aaron Maté cited for leaving 
Democracy Now. He would go on to win an Izzy award for his Russiagate exposés and 
Maté has said on Jimmy Dore's show that Dore called out the Douma scam before Maté did.
