“It is fair to dismiss the CIA’s claims that its work in Hollywood primarily constitutes educational outreach or a drive toward accuracy. Rather, its work is best assessed as government propaganda that is at times both self-aggrandizing and covert.”
Tricia Jenkins, The CIA in Hollywood: How the Agency Shapes Film and Television (Paperback) - Common
