DESCRIPTION:Nicolas Schou, award-winning investigative journalist, author of "Kill the 
 Messenger: How the CIA’s Crack Cocaine Controversy Destroyed Journalist 
 Gary Webb,"  exposes government operatives altering media stories and 
 films. He names names and spotlights flagrant examples of collusion, of 
 respected reporters selling out to powerful agencies. For the first time, 
 Schou gets CIA officers, Hollywood consultants, reporters, and 
 entertainment executives to go on record about the ways “true stories” 
 come about and how the CIA has embedded itself in Hollywood to ensure that 
 the agency gets the hero treatment on-screen. We learn about how some of 
 Hollywood’s brightest stars gain unique access inside agency headquarters 
 — and what price they pay for that access. Schou relates how the CIA 
 routinely vets articles on controversial topics such as the drone 
 assassination program, granting friendly reporters background briefings on 
 classified material, while simultaneously prosecuting ex-officers who 
 release damaging information. \n\n
