GLENN GREENWALD—Tonight – that the U.S. media is biased and pursues a political agenda rather than truthful reporting is hardly in dispute these days. Less obvious is exactly what that agenda is.

A highly unusual program with Tucker Carlson exposing the usually untouchable CIA for the criminal organisation it is. This kind of report should have been distributed by a leftist channel, but they do not exist in the US/WESTERN media universe, as the whole rump spectrum —the permitted Overton Window—extends from the center right to extreme right.
