It isn’t just the fake news they report, it’s the real news they cover up.
Exactly right.
They lie by omission as much as by commission. There are millions of Leftists out there who still don’t think the months of nightly Portland Antifa actions really happened, for one example.
The media lies by omission became extremely obvious to me in the Spring of 2001 because of the Cincinnati Riots. Never heard of them? Well, you pretty much wouldn’t have, unless you lived there of followed them here, because there was an almost complete news blackout on the events. But they were well-covered here, from local news and on the ground sources.
