The Disinformation Campaign in El Salvador

The disinformation campaign worked at least in the immediate term. Bonner gets pulled out, sent back to New York for training and other reporters learned from his example. It was dangerous to report on any story that might be seen as sympathetic to left-wing militants in Latin America. Meanwhile, the right-wing militants who controlled El Salvador continued to receive USAID. Their soldiers continued to attend the School of the Americas in order to learn how to be the best desk ones they could be.
