Operation Mockingbird: The CIA lied to you this whole time

Did the CIA really control the media? What began as a Cold War psy-op quickly became something far more dangerous: a silent war on truth. Operation Mockingbird wasn’t a rumor. It was real—and its influence still shapes our headlines today. In this episode of Forgotten History, we uncover how trusted journalists, networks, and publications were used to manipulate public opinion, manufacture consent, and silence dissent—from Vietnam to Iraq to the digital age.Watch until the end for the gut-punch question no one wants to answer.👇 Leave a comment: Do you think the media is still free?Written and hosted by Mike Droberg.
