I’ve written many times here about the CIA’s Operation Mockingbird, the program organized in the 1950s by then-Director Allen Dulles and former host of CNN’s Crossfire program, Tom Hayden. Operation Mockingbird involved either planting CIA operatives at the nation’s major media platforms or turning prominent editors and journalists already employed by those platforms.
Mark Groubert has done a great job exposing many of the details of Operation Mockingbird with Eric Hunley at their podcast, “America’s Untold Stories” over the past few years. But I haven’t seen anyone in America’s legacy media do a real expose’ of Mockingbird and the fact it continues to be active to this day before now.
Last week, Fox News’s Jesse Watters aired an 11-minute segment on his prime time nightly program that does a really fine job of this. Below is the video, followed by a transcript for those of you who prefer to read.
Enjoy!
