For anyone not familiar with these terms, VoA and Radio Marti are US government (very closely tied to CIA) propaganda outlets, the latter being directed at Cuba. The USIA used to be the official arm of the US government that handles propaganda, until it was transferred over to the BBG/USAGM Broadcasting Board of Governors/US Agency for Global Media.
I was unaware of this connection before, so I thought I'd share it with you all.
EDIT: Would anyone else be interested in a research comm for stuff like this?
tucker tried to be CIA in the 80s and wanted to fight sandinistas in nicaragua, if i recall
he's also a Big Meat heir (no, not the sexy kind, the carnist kind)
I didn't know he tried to be CIA in the 80s. Know where I can find more info on that? I do know that Anderson Cooper interned for the CIA, which is weird.

Vanderbilt heir too
Much thanks for the link.
Vanderbilt heir too
Yep, I definitely knew about that. Isn't it curious how some of these news personalities come from east-coast "old money" and/or have deep state ties?
White anglo saxon protestants too. The same people who want us to think it's all jews or some shit.
the people who run the country don't read the news to you on TV. they PAY the people who read the news to you on TV.
The story is that he didn't get in. IMO more likely is that he did.
Here is the twitter thread about tucker in Nicaragua https://nitter.net/alanrmacleod/status/1497516067811430404
tried to be CIA
i don't think they turned him down I just think they "officially" turned him down

being named dick and calling your kid tucker is a really good bit tho
He was also a reporter who exposed "The Dale" (a fake car developed in the 70s by a trans woman libertarian grifter) as a fraud. Shockingly he was a transphobic shithead. There's an HBO documentary about it.
RCR are libs, but their video on the Dale is really fantastic
e: actually i hadn't watched the whole thing, it might do a transphobia
e2: okay they try to give our undeniable girlboss yassqueen a fair shake, but they're still basically cis youtubers drawing largely from cissexist histories

I thought the title was "Tucker Carlson's dead" for a second :sadness:
Broadcasting Board of Governors/US Agency for Global Media. I'll edit my post to spell that out a little more clearly.
i used to think people calling every single annoying person a cia operative was a joke and then i kept reading stuff like this
if they are being promoted by algorithms and plastered across all TV channels they are 99% CIA adjacent
these people make hundreds of thousands of dollars to spend 40-80 hours a week to literally just do this shit.
Very interesting but not surprising. Everyone in a position of power (media, corporate, nonprofit, whatever) seems to be a second or third generation ghoul with generational wealth. A single comm for collecting and distributing this information would be great though. Useful for pilling any lib that believes in self-made man narratives.
We need a c/trueanon. It's culturally the closest subreddit to r/chapotraphouse to the point that I crosspost between here and there.
I was initially thinking of something like /c/research but /c/trueanon makes way more sense.
he doesnt need to be an op just a ideologically saturated guy whos only in their position because of nepotism
not if the point is to keep the nation polarized and/or stoke fascism
