Washington Post and the CIA are besties

Ever since the formation of the CIA in 1947 (much more since the CFR in 1921), this paper has been directly influenced by the CIA through Op Mockingbird. It didn't end in the late 70's when the House Select Committee on Assassinations found out about it.

And current Post owner Bessos doesn't see a conflict of interest in his $6bn deal with the ....CIA!!

That's why they say 'journalism has been bought and paid for.' Most of our media is like this now and has been for the last several decades. About the only thing we have left is so-called conspiracy websites and I wouldn't be surprised if the CIA has their hand in some of them too, making them as unbelievable as possible. IMHO
