===Philip Morris associations===*<B>[[The National Journalism Center and Philip Morris]] </b>In the early 1990s, Philip Morris worked with a number of the NJC alumni to "accurately report " about the tobacco industry , and proposed health care reforms. [[Michael Fumento]] in particular, made a lot of money from these services (linked to [[Steven J Milloy]] and [[TASSC]]). The National Journalism Center, under the direction of M. Stanton Evans, ''hosted forums on public policy issues to raise awareness and promote education of the issues''. [[Richard T Hines]] an infamous neo-Confederate corporate lobbyist was active in promoting the use of the NJC and extending it influence outside the USA, and into Europe. He worked extensively for many years as a lobbyist for the tobacco industry. <ref>https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/kqkm0128</ref>. Hines worked closely with the US and UK Libertarian think-tanks in blocking smoking bans and other regulatory measures, mainly in linking their propaganda to various friendly journalists. He acted as a conduit between the tobacco companies and many of the NJC alumnii. <ref>https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/zpkm0128</ref>  The [[Krieble Institute]] was an off-shoot of [[Paul Weyrich]]'s [[Free Congress Foundation]] which ran the [[National Empowerment Television]] system. In another project, Richard Hines also used Krieble (which had set up an office and training facility in Moscow) to link Philip Morris into the new journalists being trained in Russia and to many of the libertarian think-tanks who would employ them.<ref>https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/jqkm0128</ref> <ref>https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/xqkm0128</ref>
