I wonder if in a few decade they will reveal the social/culture war to be a psyop too.

Re: Modern art was a CIA psyop
Honestly the CIA may have done MOMA a big favor, just by boosting them. For political reasons or not. As the article says, most Americans didn't "get" modern art, and some of them thought the artists were "communists" or something. Similar reaction to rock'n'roll music a few years later.
And America reacted to all that a lot better than the USSR did. Many are the stories of Soviet artists, musicians and writers being murdered or locked in a gulag.
Did the government poke its big fat snout into American culture, and manipulate things? Of course it did. Very badly and ineffectively for the most part. Read up on the Voice of America radio network, or about how the FCC closely regulated broadcast radio and TV until the 1980s. It's literally a miracle that the Internet has escaped being censored and regulated by the Feds. So far....
