To answer the title question: As soon as they are printed or aired. And today that’s the vast majority. Even if real facts are used, there is most likely a slant in how it’s stated or what facts are omitted.

IMHO, it was during the Iraq war that it became clear to me that the media wasn't just biased, they were sheer propaganda for the Dims.

It was when they'd report that no WMD's were found yet because Bush lied. Then they'd report that our troops were attacked with sarin gas because Bush was too incompetent to protect our troops. Then a day or two later they'd report no WMD's found in Iraq -- hoping their readers/viewers would completely forget that they had recently reported as news that our troops were attacked by sarin gas -- because Bush lied about WMD's. They'd then report that our troops were attacked by mustard gas because of Bush. Then again say no WMD's in Iraq cuz Bush lied.

I realized that the drive by media didn't have to keep their lies straight; They expected their readers/viewers to follow along like sheep without the slightest critical thinking skills. Basically, the biased media had trained their cult followers to just accept whatever "news" they were told even when it was obviously a lie.

They have been doing it for decades.

Ford Pinto on NBC — totally staged for the benefit of the broadcast. 1993.

I never followed left wing publications back in the day and the MSM has pretty much fallen into that category now. Any truth or sanity they publish or broadcast now is an exception rather than the usual crap they produce. FR is basically a clearing house for their stuff. We point out the obvious lies and dismiss them to dumpster they belong in.

Yellow journalism is a style of reporting that uses sensationalism and exaggeration to grab the reader’s attention and sell newspapers. The term originated in the late 1800s in New York City, where it was used to describe the reporting techniques of two rival newspaper publishers, Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst.

Given that the Original Three commercial broadcasters (NBC, CBS, ABC) held their licenses with the understanding that they would perform "Public Service Announcements" (PSAs), of which their nightly news programs were credited towards their PSA compliance...

The question really is:

When does deceit become a violation of the public trust and misuse of the public service charter that governs their broadcast licenses?

“Narratives” are always deceit.

When Do Media Narratives Become Deceit?

By my recollection, about the early 1960's. About the time all networks added a commentary with the "news".

The media has always been deceitful. If it doesn’t meet their narrative it does not get reported.

I’d draw the line back in the 50s. Supposed MSM news has gone down hill for decades and unwatchable since Obama ran for President.

They are deceit from to moment they are concocted in the offices and zoom calls among media and Democrat operatives.

A real news organization cannot push a “narrative” that consistent favors one side over the other. If they have consistent bias, they are instead, propagandists, as in the case of the maninstream media.
