What does Operation Mockingbird reveal about the US’ commitment to freedom of the press?
Posted on January 25th, 2010 by admin
Operation MOCKINGBIRD — The CIA begins recruiting American news organizations and journalists to become spies and disseminators of propaganda. The effort is headed by Frank Wisner, Allan Dulles, Richard Helms and Philip Graham. Graham is publisher of The Washington Post, which becomes a major CIA player. Eventually, the CIA’s media assets will include ABC, NBC, CBS, Time, Newsweek, Associated Press, United Press International, Reuters, Hearst Newspapers, Scripps-Howard, Copley News Service and more. By the CIA’s own admission, at least 25 organizations and 400 journalists will become CIA assets.

Would you think the same way if I said KGB? What about the DISIP (Ven.)? No, you would say they were controlling the press. Wouldn’t you?
Operation Mockingbird reveals nothing about the USA’s commitment to freedom of the press. It does however reveal that you can’t believe everything that you read in the papers with the CIA disseminating disinformation.
