Robert F Kennedy Jr (RFK) let rip on his battle against the mainstream media and how the CIA funds journalism during an interview with podcast host Lex Fridman on Thursday.

RFK Jr said modern journalism and media are a continuation of the CIA “Operation Mockingbird” and anti-competitive and pro-censorship Trusted News Initiative.

“They believe that they’re doing the right thing by suppressing information that may challenge government proclamations on Covid. But there is a danger to that,” RFK Jr said.

“The danger is that once you appoint yourself an arbiter of what is true and what is not true, then there is really no end to the power that you have now assumed for yourself because now your job is no longer to inform the public, your job is to manipulate the public,” Kennedy added.
