        You know what else is weird? As the article talks about, Tucker Carlson's step mom is heir to the Swanson Foods fortune and he has ties to the CIA. Anderson Cooper's mom is heir to the Vanderbilt fortune and he also has ties to the CIA: https://thegrayzone.com/2020/02/25/vanderbilt-anderson-cooper-cia-college/

        One is "conservative" and one is "liberal", but when you dig into their history, both come from oligarch families and have suspicious ties to US intelligence. Makes you wonder about why they made a career in journalism, doesn't it? It's almost as if there's a concerted effort by the ruling class to manipulate public opinion in part by sticking their own people in prominent news media roles.

      His father, Richard “Dick” Carlson is an important journalist and high state official who was appointed by Ronald Reagan as director of the U.S. Information Agency (USIA), the body that oversees government-funded media, including Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Radio and TV Martí and Voice of America, of which Dick was also the director. (USIA has since been replaced by the U.S. Agency for Global Media). Together, these outlets are part of what The New York Times called a “worldwide propaganda network built by the CIA.” Their goal is to bombard enemy countries with regime-change propaganda. Until the 1970s, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty was directly funded by the CIA.
