Operation Mockingbird explores the confirmed intelligence program that blurred the line between journalism and state power. During the Cold War, information itself became a battlefield, and influence over public perception was treated as a strategic asset. This episode examines how media narratives were shaped, guided, and in some cases quietly steered in service of national security objectives, revealing how psychological influence could operate without the public ever knowing it was underway.

Drawing from declassified records, congressional investigations, and historical reporting, the episode traces how relationships between major news organizations and the Central Intelligence Agency were formed, justified, and later denied. It explores how secrecy, plausible deniability, and narrative framing allowed influence operations to function in plain sight, raising questions about where information ends and psychological warfare begins.

Operation Mockingbird is not presented as a closed chapter of history, but as a foundational case that reshaped how power understands media, trust, and belief. The episode invites listeners to consider how much of what feels organic may instead be the product of design, repetition, and selective visibility.
