Lippmann had wide access to the nation's decision makers and had no sympathy for communism. But the [[Jacob Golos|Golos spy ring]] used [[Mary Price]], his secretary, to garner information on items Lippmann chose not to write about or names of Lippmann's sources, often not carried in stories, but of use to the [[MGB]].

Lippman was a treasured figure of secular and humanist [[liberal]]s, but if they were more consistent thinkers then they would have had reservations towards him because of his advocacy of Judao-Christian [[Natural Law]]<ref> ''Religion, Politics, and the Higher Learning'', Morton White, [[Harvard University]] Press, 1959 p.112</ref>.  For example, [[Noam Chomsky]] admired Lippmann's concept and phrase "manufacture of consent"<ref>[http://books.google.com/books?id=z8oJlTEoNUsC&pg=PA396&dq=%22Manufacture+of+Consent%22+Lippman#PPA397,M1 ''Chomsky on democracy & education''], Noam Chomsky, Routledge, 2003, ISBN 0415926319, 9780415926317, 480 pages, p.397</ref> and so titled his 1986 pamphlet<ref>[http://books.google.com/books?id=hd2GGAAACAAJ ''The Manufacture of Consent''], Noam Chomsky, Silha Center for the Study of Media Ethics and Law, University of Minnesota, 1986 </ref>. Shortly thereafter in 1988 Chomsky co-wrote and published ''Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media'' with fellow liberal Edward S. Herman.  

Starting as a Socialist, Lippmann moved right through most of his life, becoming a conservative y the 1930s and an advocate of [[Natural Law]]<ref> ''Religion, Politics, and the Higher Learning'', Morton White, [[Harvard University]] Press, 1959 p.112</ref>.  For example, [[Noam Chomsky]] admired Lippmann's concept and phrase "manufacture of consent"<ref>[http://books.google.com/books?id=z8oJlTEoNUsC&pg=PA396&dq=%22Manufacture+of+Consent%22+Lippman#PPA397,M1 ''Chomsky on democracy & education''], Noam Chomsky, Routledge, 2003, ISBN 0415926319, 9780415926317, 480 pages, p.397</ref> and so titled his 1986 pamphlet<ref>[http://books.google.com/books?id=hd2GGAAACAAJ ''The Manufacture of Consent''], Noam Chomsky, Silha Center for the Study of Media Ethics and Law, University of Minnesota, 1986 </ref>.
