    Of course it’s on purpose. Most of the media are owned by oligarchs that support Trump because all they care about is their next tax cut.

      Right. The “liberal media” BS has been of the Republican’s most successful tactics. Corporate media is not left-wing - it’s absurd, but that’s what conservatives push and many people fully believe it. Almost all media outlets in the US support conservatives in subtle ways, but people have been trained to think that right/centrist corporate media is rabidly biased towards the left.

        Thanks to years of cutting and gutting education they’ve made a base for themselves that can’t think for themselves and just follow the orders given to them by fox “news”.

        Manufacturing consent documented this at great length in the late 80s, and there’s absolutely no way it hasn’t gotten worse since then.

      Yes, but many of the journalists are normal peopke on the left and write. If they are constantly being stifled, they should still be reporting on that or quitting. There is meant to be done integrity in the profession.

      Its been gone for many years. Now its just content farms.
