It will never fail to amaze me how you can prove to an American that all mainstream media is owned by CORPO and they accept that but they can’t rub two brain cells together and extrapolate how CORPO would want to control the narrative.
Hasn’t it been almost a decade since smaller media outlets there all but died out? If you don’t have much other information available for you to consume, you’re not going to learn much or have any 2’s to put 2 and 2 together
I think the degree of control has been greatly exaggerated by a news media apparatus incentivized to demonize its geopolitical rivals.
Which is fucking hilarious, when you think about it: we are the ones who have filtered media. They speak from a script approved by the billionaires.

You might be right. I’m not sure what parties would benefit from that. But I do think it is an ongoing issue
