Fill in the blank. The MSM has become little but a propaganda machine that would have been the envy of Soviet-era Pravda. Because there are several "news" sources there is the illusion of competition, fairness, independence. Ha! They speak with one voice, and that voice is socialist/fascist. You're either with them, or you must be destroyed.
Actually they are much worse. Pravda was told what to say and print. The MSM does not even need to be told what to print and say. In addition they automatically censor and distort as needed. They view themselves not as the media but as an extension of the State. Pravda was far less corrupt. Pravda printed lies when instructed to print lies. Our media needs no instructions to lie.
