Yes. National corporate news isn’t news, it’s programming meant to program people.
A form of totalitarianism whose era is hopefully coming to an end.
Heck, not even national corporate, either: News in and of itself is programming meant to program people, which was the intent of its founder Walter Lippmann. Just read up on his instruction manual Public Opinion, specifically Manufacturing of Consent. And that guy HATED Corporate and National at the time, was a full-time commie and at one point a Soviet sympathizer.
