The one piece of "truth" that I hope the public at large gets, is that mass media is and always has been inherently DISHONEST and agenda-driven.

That's right, when you turn on the TV to watch a "news" broadcast, their primary purpose is to attract as many viewers as possible so that they can charge as much $$$ possible from advertisers. Their secondary purpose is to propagandize.

Proving useful information isn't on the list!

MSM finally structured themselves with deep state so profit motive was no longer a driver, hence the sudden flood of propaganda when zero first won.

Well, it’s a two way street. The impression I get reading between the lines, is that the mediots all know it’s all BS, but it gets the almighty RATINGS. You could say all of them are crisis actors, in a way.

Time to take the advertising $$$$$$ out of news broadcasting. If they report honest factual news people will follow. If you produce any propaganda you might lose your broadcasting license.
