In this episode of Provocative Politics, we unravel the controversial history of CIA influence over U.S. media. This episode touches on covert surveillance and journalist relationships, propaganda campaigns, and even...student groups?

From the Crusade for Freedom to Radio Free Europe, as well as the agency’s quiet ties to some of the media outlets we know today, I hope you're enlightened by the history of the Mockingbird media manipulation by the CIA.
