There has always been fake news... And there has always been people interested in controlling and censoring the news, whether it’s fake or not fake... And it has always been up to the individual reading the story to determine the truth of it... That isn’t anything new.
What is new... Is that censorship is now being conducted and controlled by the radical left media, with the encouragement and support of Socialist, Left-wingers and Liberals.
on how long this has been happening.
I noticed the MSM start turning left in the late 70s. Even as a teen I used to wonder how the news from various parts of the countries where people have so many differences and backgrounds had news that not only focused on the same stories but the same messages, views and social values.
In other words I self-discovered “spin” before it was even a thing to most. I knew then it had to be controlled, somehow.
