"his has helped up turn some "intelligence failure" stories into "Intelligence
success" stories...In many instances, we have persuaded reporters to postpone,
change, hold, or even scrap stories"
"The Agency has a wide range of contacts with academics through
recruiting, professional societies, contractual arrangements and OTE."
"The Agency has a broad range of contacts throughout government and provides
product, briefings, and exchanges to both Executive and Legislative Branches.
"
In the fifties and the Sixties the CIA employed the entire range
of media operations to deceive the American and Foreign audiences.
The CIA, inter alia, published more than 1000 books under assumed
guise as covered in the Church Committee's review of CIA operations.
By far the most influential of the CIA disinformation operations is
its own intelligence. The CIA is so effective at deception, dissembling
and cover-up that it believes its own lies.
Among executives who cooperated with the CIA were William Paley of the
Columbia Broadcasting System, Henry Luce of Time Inc., Arthur Hays Sulzberger
of the New York Times, Barry Bingham Sr. of the Louisville Courier-Journal,
and
James Copley of the Copley News Services. Other organizations that
cooperated with the CIA include the American Broadcasting company, the
National Broadcasting Company, the Associated Press, United Press
International, Reuters, Hearst newspapers, Scripps-Howard, Newsweek
magazine, the Mutual Broadcasting System, Miami Herald and the old Saturday
Evening Post and new York Herald-Tribune. By far the most valuable of these
associations, have been with the New York Times, CBS and Time Inc.
