> William Paley, the president of CBS broadcasting and a founding father of the CIA
Did this used to be open knowledge and scrubbed now? There isn't a mention of Paley's involvement in cia on his own Wikipedia page... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_S._Paley
The [edit: wikipedia] article mentions that he was "director of radio operations of the Psychological Warfare branch in the Office of War Information at Allied Force Headquarters": that's what became PWD/SHAEF [1] towards the end of the war and was merged after the war with the Strategic Services Unit and some other stuff to make the CIA.
