In 1982 , '' The New York Times '' reporter Raymond Bonner broke the story of the El Mozote massacre in El Salvador . The report was strongly criticized by AIM and the Reagan administration , and Bonner was pressured into business reporting , later deciding to resign . Although the report was embarrassing to the Reagan administration , which was heavily aiding the right-wing junta at the time , skeletons unearthed a decade later confirmed the original story 's veracity . AIM was critical of journalist Helen Marmor , who in 1983 produced a documentary for NBC concerning the Russian Orthodox Church . AIM contended that " it ignored the repressive religious policies of the Soviet state . " AIM received a substantial amount of funding from Richard Mellon Scaife who paid Christopher W. Ruddy to investigate allegations that President Bill Clinton was connected to the suicide of Vince Foster . AIM contended that " Foster was murdered " , which is contrary to three independent reports including one by Kenneth Starr . AIM faulted the media for not picking up on the conspiracy , and applied itself for FOIA disclosure of Foster 's death-scene photographs . Its suit to compel disclosure was denied by the District Court of Columbia in a summary judgment , unanimously affirmed by the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia
