Mockingbird was a covert U.S. government operation run by the CIA to implant pro-US propaganda in American media and front organizations. Starting in the 1950s, the CIA began to hire and contract students and people in the media to write false stories, or embellish stories to favor the U.S government.
Where you see "to favor the US Government" you can read "Deep state".
Now, knowing what this operation is:
If you are still trusting what the "journalists" tell you, then I don't know what else to tell you. And mind you this is why the govt wants to manage "disinformation". Because people like me cannot be bought and sold or told what to say by the deep state.
