Udo Ulfkotte - Journalists for Hire: How the CIA Buys the News.

Mirror of interview with Udo Ulfkotte seemingly originally broadcast on the Russia Today network (c late 2016) expressing his perspective on how the manipulation of the media is orchestrated by intelligence organisations such as the CIA. The ideas expressed by Udo seem consistent with the manipulations of Operation Mockingbird (during the Cold War) which seemingly was described in the publications of the Church Committee. In 2018 in Europe documents made their way online that tended to indicate a British government linked organisation called the Institute for Statecraft was running a program called the Integrity Initiative that was similarly looking to influence the media across Europe. Subsequent to the revelations, the Integrity Initiative appears to have become inactive despite claims made at the time that it was not conducting illegitimate activities.
