Haynes, Ch 8 re journalists, p 240 and following, re Karr and the Pearsons.
Karr was Pearson's chief aide, and a Soviet agent. How do you have a close aide like that and not be a secret communist?
Certainly the Soviets believed he was firmly on their side, probably long before he hired Karr.
If Pearson wasn't a communist, he certainly put on a good act, masquerading, time after time, from a communist perspective and against anti communist targets, in his columns.
He ruined Patton, drove Forrestal to suicide, as his own partner Anderson admitted, and besmirched countless others.
Joe McCarthy had his number as, at the very least, a sympathetic and willing chump stooge of Stalin, although he wasn't believed at the time. Haynes, Venona, p. 245.
Drew Pearson Fallacy
Mary Price, another Soviet agent, was a close aid to Walter Lippmann....
Think about it.
