Just like the government, big media only tells us what they want us to know.
Its all nothing but manipulative agitprop.
They have destroyed any semblance of credibility they may once have enjoyed and therefore basically hit the self-destruct button on their industry.
The media has always been as much propaganda as news. Editorials telling the people what the publisher thinks should be rather than what is. When there were two or more competing newspapers in a city there was a chance for opposing views to be heard.
Newspapers whipped up the wars ,then radio and later television joined the agitation and cheerleading.
Factual reporting is rare,if not extinct on the big networks. MSNBC news on the internet is so biased it reminds me of Radio Hanoi.
