CIA has ran the News networks for a very long time

Sig Mickelson, President of CBS from 1954 to 1961:
"We had been contacted by the CIA, as a matter of fact by the time I became the head of the whole News and Public Affairs operation in 1954 the shifts had been established and I was told about them and asked if I'd carry on with them"
For the Next time you tell someone the News is run by the CIA and they call you a conspiracy theorist
