NO. To direct indicates "they are forced to censure and propagandize." They are not forced. The media is WILLINGLY COMPLICENT in this. They are partners in a cabal of deceit.
Gobbels looking up from hell must be thinking, "if I had their media in 1939 we would have won the war!"
Words do matter, don't they?
So, how does this disaster get fixed? Honestly. Our founding fathers were brilliant and knew their stuff. They saw a free press that kept the masses (us) informed. So, if the information was correct, we could make an informed decision. Maybe it worked that way for a while, but it has migrated to the absolute lunatic fringe today.
I like your Gobbels analogy. So true!
