An article in the Guardian (UK) newspaper reveals the early days of CIA involvement in media manipulation. This story centers on the creation of the animated version of Animal Farm which was actually made in Britain (with some help from our democracy lovin' chums in the CIA).
Of course, this was all back in the early days of the 50's before they became more sophisticated and responsible free-market "news" channels allowed psy-ops specialists into their newsrooms, allowed their reporters to be under army control and didn't raise a shout when all the satellite images were bought by the government (instead of applying for shutter control which is reviewed by the judiiciary the government just purchased all the data by a forced contract!).
Yes, George Orwell would have cried if he could see us now.
