RE: CNN is such a joke these days
It would appear that Anderson "Mockingbird" Cooper gets his marching orders from his handlers at Clowns In Action.
Never doubt how far one measly summer placement in Langley will carry you!
Mockingbird Cooper, i love it...
Thanks! Too bad we couldn't upvote Anderson for not flying very far from his nest. :)

Operation Mockingbird
Operation Mockingbird was an alleged large-scale program of the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) that began in the early 1950s and attempted to manipulate news media for propaganda purposes. It funded student and cultural organizations and magazines as front organizations.According to writer Deborah Davis, Operation Mockingbird recruited leading American journalists into a propaganda network and oversaw the operations of front groups. CIA support of front groups was exposed after a 1967 Ramparts magazine article reported that the National Student Association received funding from the CIA. In the 1970s, Congressional investigations and reports also revealed Agency connections with journalists and civic groups. None of these reports, however, mentions an Operation Mockingbird coordinating or supporting these activities.
