The CIA dates from the National Security Act of 1947. Prior to that, during WWII Supreme Commander Eisenhower enlisted C.D. Jackson as his psychological warfare chief. Ike brought him in for his two terms as psychological warfare chief. In October 1952 Jackson's speech for Ike called on government agencies to speak with a single voice.
In the early literature of the CIA are references to useful journalists as assets. Priscilla Johnson was one who would write the articles "we want." Many references to this as Operation Mockingbird http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/JFKmockingbird.htm or The Mighty Wurlitzer. The 1967 memo regarding the Garrison case and Warren critics. http://www.maryferrell.org/mffweb/archiv...eId=567348
In 2008 Cass Sunstein and Adrian Verbeule published the paper "Conspiracy Theories" a pdf attached.
Consider that Harry Truman published an editorial in the Washington Post in December 1963 "Confine CIA to Intelligence Role". Allen Dulles visited Truman and attempted to make him recant; Truman would tell the editor of LOOK later that he felt the same--yet Dulles lied to CIA counsel Houston that Truman had recanted.
The CIA site is replete with this revisionism of a Stalinist nature. It's written by the ream by Bugliosi and McAdams.
Do not discount the behavior of media, singing like a choir of castrati with never a dissonant note.
