Minor point (and JMHO), the MSM has been present but Dead Man Walking since at least 1964.

Amen, BABY! Intriguing what all was in play with media sculduggery in the 60’s, but aren’t you spot on about the seeds of socialism stirring prior to that and WW II.
PS: 1964 took out the Catholic Church in Vatican II, as well, seeded also with nefarious actors. That vandalism of the Church is on display today.
