"Media asset" of James Jesus Angleton who ran the editorial page of the New York Times.

John Oakes was a "media asset" of James Jesus Angleton.[1]

Lisa Pease pointed out that: "And so if you wanted to control kind of the tone of The New York Times during the assassinations of the 60s, what better person to have in your back pocket than the guy who ran the editorial page. News report are one thing, but the editorial is kind of where they get to try and imprint opinions on other people. And so I thought that was a phenomenally important contact and Angleton basically considered him an asset."[1]
