> If we take Bernstein at his word (and there's no reason not to), basically all the US media has secretly cooperated with the CIA. Is there any reason to think this isn't going on right now? I mean, google "ken dilanian cia" for a good time. Then think: Dilanian is still a working journalist.

Look at the number of former CIA, NSA and FBI directors / agents working as journalists or as advisors or make regular appearance to CNN alone.

There's a whole rabbit hole you can go down. I recommend "The Plot Against the President" if you want a good insight as to how the news / government collaborate.

The portrayal is highly believed by the right, almost entirely ignored on the left, so it's worth a watch -- if only to understand gap in knowledge.
