JMSmith pulls up a bit of history in A Conspiracy Within a Conspiracy He opens with this quote:
“Finally we have the unsolved mystery as to who, if anyone, in this great land actually receives accurate and unbiased information about the outside world. In [the] atmosphere of oriental secretiveness and conspiracy which pervades this Government, possibilities for distorting or poisoning sources and currents of information are infinite . . . . There is good reason to suspect that this Government is actually a conspiracy within a conspiracy; and I for one am reluctant to believe that Stalin himself receives anything like an objective picture of [the] outside world.” - Telegram of George F. Kennan to James F. Burnes (February 22, 1946).
