#96 - Operation Mockingbird - I am the News

Support the show hereTune in as we take a deep dive into Operation Mockingbird a large scale program devised by the CIA that began in the late 1940s and was essentially the attempt to manipulate news and other media outlets for many purposes, including disseminating propaganda and swaying public opinions. Join us as we get into the history of the program, the investigative committee that covered most of it up and how this quite possibly could still happening today. We even give you some tips for identifying fake news and ponder if there are still such things as journalistic integrity as well as truly free and independent press.Link to the Carl Bernstein article from Rolling Stone:http://carlbernstein.com/magazine_cia_and_media.php Merch:https://podcastfromouterspace.com/Music Credit:Eminem - Mockingbird (8-bit remix)
