Intelligence Matters: A CBS News original national security podcast
“Intelligence Matters” is a weekly podcast about national security and policy hosted by former CIA Acting Director and CBS News national security contributor Michael Morell. Each week, users can listen to conversations between Morell and some of the world’s leading intelligence and national security officials and experts. The podcast, which launched in 2017, was previously produced in partnership with The Cipher Brief, a website dedicated to national security topics.
Combating disinformation campaigns
In this episode of Intelligence Matters, host Michael Morell speaks with Laura Rosenberger and Jamie Fly of the German Marshall Fund’s Alliance for Securing Democracy. The bipartisan duo discuss their latest project on disinformation campaigns being conducted worldwide, explain how European nations served as a training ground for operations in the United States and describe how other authoritarian regimes are taking examples from Russia’s toolkit. They also detail how Russia’s effort to sow social and political discord have reached beyond social media platforms and lasted long beyond the 2016 election.
The Intelligence Matters podcast is available on iTunes, Stitcher, Google Play and Spotify. We’ll post updates about future guests on Twitter and Facebook. New episodes of the podcast, hosted by former CIA Acting Director Michael Morell, will post on Wednesdays.
