In 1977, Carl Bernstein published an exposé of a CIA program known as Operation Mockingbird, a covert program involving, according to Bernstein, “more than 400 American journalists who in the past 25 years have secretly carried out assignments for the Central Intelligence Agency.” Bernstein found that in “many instances” CIA documents revealed that “journalists were engaged to perform tasks for the CIA with the consent of the managements of America’s leading news organizations.”
Fast-forward to December 2016, and one can see that there isn’t much need for a covert government program these days.

The Brits use “are” for a word that would signify a group,or plural.
Ex:-—The parliament are in session-——The senate are in session etc.
I find that interesting.
Why? Is this a rhetorical question??
Because a coup is in progress
The CIA would have a better score if they were throwing darts at a dart board.

Not for me. I’m glad someone on the left is bringing it up, though.
Good before/after pics!
They have no interest in telling the truth. They have only an interest to advance the leftist narrative.
That, and it lets them throw Seth Rich under the bus.
Cheers.

Did you know.......
Barak Obama’s first job out of Columbia was working for Business International Corporation..... which was one of the businesses the CIA used to employ journalists in the 1970s.
Yeah, it’s true.
Because they are democrats first and americans second.
Because it generates revenue.
Because the media in this country is 100% propaganda and entirely fake news.
I am SOOOO happy Al Gore invented the Internet!
I know there’s been a huge increase in fake news, but much more real news has been able to get through the filters.
Because they’re in on it.
Yeah, and serious journalists would be saying “show us the evidence”. The fact that nobody is tells you all you need to know.
Strange times indeed when a far-left publication has to try to talk some sense into these unhinged
libtards falling for this obvious propaganda.
