Gannett and USAToday have a very long relationship with the CIA. In 1986, I participated in a CIA training exercise (I was not CIA) that used a Gannett owned motel that apparently didn't register normal guests--just used for training. It was a joint exercise that included CIA, DIA, FBI, ICE, and other agencies, but it was not possible to tell who was from which agency. Everyone was in the intelligence collection business. Unknown to us, every member of the motel staff were intelligence agents in training where were spying on us as well. We were not told that until the end of the exercise. No one caught on that the staff were all spooks.

Don't know about Gannett and Mockingbird--only that Gannett has a long association with CIA.
