Once upon a time, journalism meant something. But that was before I was born.

Now, it's just pure propaganda to manipulate stupid people.

From near the beginning of ‘journalism’ it had aspects of pure propaganda and manipulation of ignorant people.

In the United States we saw that in the run-up to the Revolutionary war, the Civil War, the Spanish American War, WWI, WWII, Korea, Viet-Nam, And so forth. The media has ALWAYS engaged in Propaganda.

William Randolf Hearst was probably the most honest about it in his newspapers manipulation of ‘facts’ and stories in the Spanish American War. Walter Cronkite was heard to say many times as the ‘Lead Anchor’... “If it BLEEDS, it leads!”
