Bill Paley of CBS was close personal friends with both Allen Dulles and Lyndon Johnson. CBS played a huge role in telling America that a “lone nut” killed JFK.

Will Ruha:

CBS chairman Bill Paley issued the 1953 Paley Commission Report on strategic mineral requirements for continued U.S. industrialization to the year 2,000, which, given to Secretary of State John Foster Dulles and CIA Director Allen Dulles, (who managed his financial portfolio at Wall Street’s #1 transnational corporate law firm, Sullivan & Cromwell), served as the blueprint for covert CIA operations for the next half century.

Paley’s television network was one of the leading participants in the CIA’s media-control “Operation Mockingbird” of feeding socially-engineering disinformation to Americans on all socio-political / economic newsworthy events in the world, foreign and domestic.

Paley made CBS a major collaborator in CIA disinformation throughout the 1950s and 60s. Sig Mickelson, president of CBS News in the 1950’s, confirmed, in 1977, that his organization had fully cooperated with the CIA since 1954, sharing information and employing CIA agents under the guise of news reporters, under instructions from William S. Paley, CBS chairman. Paley sycophant Walter Cronkite went on air to publicly refute Mickelson’s account, knowing that he was engaging in a bald-faced lie.

In the 1960s, Paley appointed as CBS News president, Wall Street attorney Richard Salant, who, along with CBS president Frank Stanton, were board members of Rand Corporation, a CIA-associated think tank founded in 1948 by future JFK arch-rival, General Curtis LeMay, whose chief strategist was Herman Kahn who first posited the idea of a “winnable” nuclear exchange, as well as members like Samuel Cohen: inventor of the neutron bomb in 1958, and Rockefeller servitor, Henry Kissinger.

As Daniel Schorr revealed in September of 1977, he was removed from CBS after quietly investigating Paley’s long-term ties with the CIA. Paley continued such close relations, not infrequently having lunch with CIA Director George Bush. Assigned to Sullivan & Cromwell Senior Counsel, Donald R. Osborn, Paley’s financial investments flourished. Osborn was thus rewarded by becoming a board director of CBS, a position from which he could intervene to influence its news content according to his client’s financial interests.

This is why Edward R. Murrow – the example who should be used in supporting media integrity – committed to truth in broadcasting, had such horrific internal battles with Paley and ultimately, being forced out, was rescued via JFK’s request that he serve as Director of the United States Information Bureau where he served with great distinction. As Arthur Schlesinger noted, “He revitalized the USIA, imbued it with his own bravery and honesty, and directed its efforts, especially to the developing nations.”

Murrow had seen the writing on the wall at CBS, recognizing when they brought Walter Cronkite in, how patently false CBS was willing to become, having promoted this petty, devious, ambitious and hence obsequious sycophant to power. Murrow had great difficulty working with the arrogant empowered young Cronkite. Fred Friendly recalls in his memoir Due to Circumstances Beyond Our Control how the newscasters in 1960 ‘lacked personal rapport; on the air there was a heavy-handedness and lack of ease between the two correspondents.” This owed to Cronkite’s acute news bias in favor of Richard Nixon and thus perpetuation of the CIA’s hegemony over government that had undermined and supplanted the presidency under Dwight Eisenhower.

Cronkite was also soft on Lyndon Johnson owing to LBJ’s close friendship with CBS president, Frank Stanton and Johnson’s ownership (under his wife’s name) of a CBS affiliate in Austin. For too many years, Cronkite was disinclined to criticize Johnson’s Vietnam War policies because he, himself, was a Nixon Republican and jingoist who ardently supported military intervention in S.E. Asia. It took the Tet Offensive to set him straight. Murrow was The Man. Cronkite was a deceitful CIA suck-up whose hagiography is completely undeserved. He was one of the key Founding Fathers of “Fake News.”

Along with CBS associate Dan Rather, Walter Cronkite was one of mass media’s most effective agents of disinformation. He disliked JFK intensely, was the first to broadcast news of his shooting, and rendered a touching “choked up” news reporter’s persona performance upon receiving news of the president’s death, and then knowingly and unhesitatingly lied about his assassination, participating in the Deep State’s cover-up, and lied in his memoirs about all these matters. Knowing full well that a conspiracy existed in the JFK assassination, and armed with photographic proof, he willingly suppressed it and hosted a CBS special that reinforced the hideous canards of the government’s Lone Nut assertion.

Dan Rather, a part-time CBS reporter in the Dallas/Fort Wort area, was selected by the CIA to view the Zapruder film and report to the American people on what it showed. As JFK’s head snaps backward to the left at 110 mph, Rather offers the false narrative, “The president’s head moves FORWARD with considerable violence.” After that weekend, he was whisked away to Washington where he became CBS White House correspondent, and then. Cronkite’s replacement.

Unlike Max Boot I have never written a biography which proves that Gen. Edward Lansdale murdered JFK (“The Road Not Taken: Edward Lansdale and the American Tragedy in Vietnam”) and then hollered at the top of my lungs that a lone nut commie killed JFK.

Unlike Texas Tribune editor Evan Smith, I was not personal friends with the wife of the murderer of JFK, Lyndon Johnson, nor did I ever chum up to her and call her “Mrs. J” and nor have I taken money from the daughter of Lyndon Johnson, Luci Baines Johnson. [“Mrs. J,” Evan Smith, Texas Monthly, September 2007 and Texas Tribune All Time List of donors: Luci Baines Johnson & her husband Ian Turpin – $149,097 as of 1/5/2022.

Unlike LBJ biographer Doris Kearns Goodwin, I have never had the man who murdered JFK – Lyndon Johnson – ask me to marry him (“A Tale of Hearts and Minds, Sally Quinn, Washington Post, 8-24-75)

Unlike LBJ biographer Robert Caro, I have was never co-opted by one of the men – LBJ crony Ed Clark – who murdered JFK (see “Blood, Money, and Power” by Barr McClellan, published 2003)

Unlike LBJ biographer Robert Dallek, I do not endorse the ludicrous, machine gun-riddled Warren Report fantasy that Lyndon Johnson, Robert Kennedy, Jackie Kennedy, the KGB, Gerald Ford, Sen. Richard Russell, Sen. John Sherman Cooper, Cong. Hale Boggs, Sen. Barry Goldwater, Richard Nixon, CIA chief William Casey, JFK aides Kenny O’Donnell and Dave Powers, and LBJ’s inner circle mistress Madeleine Brown, LBJ kickbacks king Billie Sol Estes and and JFK’s longtime secretary Evelyn Lincoln never believed.

Unlike LBJ biographer Michael Beschloss, I was never a personal friend of Lady Bird Johnson, the wife of the man Lyndon Johnson, who murdered JFK and I have never implied that Fidel Castro might be behind the JFK assassination.

Unlike LBJ biographer Randall Woods, I have never slandered completely innocent CIA patsy Lee Harvey Oswald for the JFK assassination which was orchestrated by Lyndon Johnson (Randall Woods, LBJ: Architect of American Ambition, p. 417-418)

Unlike LBJ biographer Julian Zelizer, I have never defamed Lee Harvey Oswald for the murder of JFK, a crime that Lyndon Johnson committed.

Unlike Senior News Reporter Jason Whitely of WFAA (Dallas) I have never pushed the fantasy that a lone nut named Oswald killed JFK.

Unlike the LBJ Library, I have not erected museum exhibits that endorse the validity and accuracy of the truly bonkers Warren Report that not even Lyndon Johnson believed for one minute.
