    is this generally understood by the general population? especially in the 3rd world countries they manipulate where the connections between local news and pupeteer empire don’t look as close and/or are deliberately obscured…

      No, of course not. Never was, nowhere is.

      The wish for “unbiased news” grew from the aftermath of WWI, but didn’t stick with the duopoly in the US.

        that influence extends way past the us political system.

        in a way that makes it look like the center unbiased position, when its in fact very manipulative.

          Yeah, that’s why we even care that the US has a duopoly.


          This particular thread is largely about “that’s what they consider unbiased news for some reason”

            and i was talking about why it is.

            and maybe why explicitly anti-imperialist and anti-us media might sound manipulative to people used to imperialism being the center and not the right. we do need the proper us bad that has been lacking.
