The CIA has been intertwined with news organizations from its inception. This is nothing new. They have always known that you have to control the information to the public and what they believe to be true to control so many without always having to resort to violence, which is impractical. However, now they are simply not even discreet about it. This was a good quote from the CIA director under Reagan, and make sure it sinks it because that quote has come to fruition.
