The newspapers used to publish whatever the government said was true when it came to war and foreign policy. That changed slightly when news reporters in Vietnam repeatedly witnessed the reality and reported it back regardless of what their editors and government officials wanted to be published.

The New York Times has been pure shit since the W years when they pushed Iraq war propaganda.
Trump is an evil moron, but he’s right about one thing, our media is full of shills and liars.
The crazy part is they are lying and shilling for the right, while being called “leftist”, it’s a fantastic lie that has been propagated.
