So, anyone got a clue as to when the lame stream started their campaign of lies and redirecting the news to suit certain goals? I was but a 22 year old at the time of this but it was pretty damn obvious that this was BS from the git go. Pretty sure it started before concrete's '68 statement about VN being lost. I don't trust any of them and haven't for a long time. One may read what they put out and then with a box of salt do a little digging.

P.S. I see andrea mitchell is getting a lifetime achievement award for lying.

It wasn’t just journalists who covered up Chappaquiddick.

Add the Kopechne family to the list also. There’s an article down the page (FR) on how they just released a letter they received after Mary Jo’s death. From Muhammad Ali.

The Kennedy’s paid for their silence.

And this murder by democrats was repeated when Seth Rich was killed. His family too does not want the truth to come out.

The fake news used to love Hitler before his sneak attack on “Uncle Joe” Stalin in 1941.

Kennedy was lucky. The Apollo moon landing two days later knocked Chappaquiddick out of the headlines.

The Enemedia hasn't changed in that time one iota.
There could be verified video of The Hildabeast boiling kittens alive and they would remark on what a good cook she is.

And in breathtaking contrast, Trump tries to PUT AMERICA FIRST by protecting our border, and they act as though he nuked Atlanta because he thought there were too many black people there.

The Party Press only started in the early 1900s according to Mark.

Shame shared by the Catholic Church, which apparently prevailed upon the Kopechne family not to pursue legal action against Kennedy.

You could check out the 1964 NYTimes coverage of the Kitty Genevovese murder (the 38 witness LIE), but I'll bet money you could go back farther than that....a LOT farther./

Thus, the media is accurately labeled, The Corrupt Media.

That’s one small bridge for Ted,
One giant fall for Mary Jo.

Yes, the press has been corrupt since before then.

I don’t trust anything I read in the mainstream media.

At least 1932. Remember, during WWII, the government had complete censorship over the media. Roosevelt's relationship with radio was warmer. The key distinction was that broadcasters operated in an entirely different political context: Thanks to federal rules and administrators, they had to tread much more lightly than newspapers did. At its inception in 1934, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) reduced the license renewal period for stations from three years to only six months. Meanwhile, Roosevelt tapped Herbert L. Pettey as secretary of the FCC (and its predecessor, the Federal Radio Commission). Pettey had overseen radio for Roosevelt in the 1932 campaign. After his appointment, he worked in tandem with the Democratic National Committee to handle "radio matters" with both the networks and local stations.

It did not take long for broadcasters to get the message. NBC, for example, announced that it was limiting broadcasts "contrary to the policies of the United States government." CBS Vice President Henry A. Bellows said that "no broadcast would be permitted over the Columbia Broadcasting System that in any way was critical of any policy of the Administration." He elaborated "that the Columbia system was at the disposal of President Roosevelt and his administration and they would permit no broadcast that did not have his approval." Local station owners and network executives alike took it for granted, as Editor and Publisher observed, that each station had "to dance to Government tunes because it is under Government license." Some dissident radio commentators, such as Father Charles Coughlin and Boake Carter, gained wide audiences. But radio as a whole was firmly pro-Roosevelt—and both Coughlin and Carter were eventually forced off the air for pushing the envelope too far.
