Go read Carl Bernstein’s Rolling Stone piece about how after Watergate the CIA decided it was time to completely devote propaganda time to the people in the US by infiltrating assets into the various media outlets in the US.

We are on the verge of transferring more wealth to the capitalists in this country than was transferred to the railroad barons in the form of land grants during the administration in history that held the title for “Most corrupt in history” until this cabal came along, the Grant administration, in the earliest days of the Republicans. Interesting that at that time it was his Treasury secretary who was shoveling money out the door.
