I take it as a sign the CIA believes some "news" outlets in the US are fronts for foreign threats and at least part of their command structure is outside FBI's jurisdiction.

Or just that someone decided to hire a seemingly competent intelligence officer for a fact-checking organisation.

Interesting. My answer would not be "trust the CIA and whatever they're doing".

I certainly shouldn't, as I am not American and don't live in the US, but I can trust that they'll do whatever is best for the US, even if it's unreasonably sadistic and murderous for, say, Chileans of the 1970's.
