Corporate Media (Part 3)

from Mic Check Radio Hosted by Occupy the Media Collective

In part three of our Corporate Media series we take a look at the known influence of the CIA's Operation Mockingbird on the media. The New York Times, Time/Life, CBS, NBC, Newsweek, the AP, UPI, Reuters and even all the way down the publishing hierarchy to The Louisville Courier-Journal were actively working with the CIA. And just when you thought it was safe to say that all of this CIA influence of the corporate media was in the past, we have the National Defense Authorization Act of 2013 (NDAA) which allows the use of government produced propaganda on the US public (previously made illegal-at least on paper-by the Smith-Mundt Act of 1948).
