Journalists covering national security have a tough gig-they need to stay close to sources inside the government, but many of those sources have cryptic agendas. As Nick Schou explains in Spooked, in many cases this trust is totally misplaced - as leading journalists get seduced and manipulated by the agencies they cover.
Nick Schou is an award-winning investigative journalist and the author of Kill the Messenger: How the CIA's Crack Cocaine Controversy Destroyed Journalist Gary Webb, the basis for the 2014 movie.
Hosted by Greg Bridges.
