The Cockburn research effort, judging from his front-page piece on Counterpunch today, seems to come from 30 minutes of Google or

Actually, from long acquaintance with AC’s research habits, it’s
somewhere between highly likely and certain that someone else did
most of the Googling. I’d always thought there was something a little
scandalous about having other people do all your research for you -
be they interns, friends, or correspondents (who were often quoted
verbatim without their permission). But now it’s clear that it leads
to intellectual atrophy.
