    We do. But it’s not just America’s perceived far right. It is even many in what America calls the left as well. That’s why so much more insidious than people give it credit for.

    Yes, Fox News, newsmax, oann are some of the worst of the worst. But every single corporate, for-profits news medium also belongs on that list of propaganda and misinformation. All television, all radio, all print that isn’t publicly owned and funded. 100% spreads propaganda.

    Even many that are publicly funded are still succeptible. Because the people with the loudest voice and the most resources to spare. Are the ones stealing from us.

    Even as children, what we are taught of American history is a complete whitewashing, with a veneer of empty hero worship. And I don’t just mean the founding. I mean even things that occurred with in 10 to 20 years of when they’re being taught. Are already heavily sanitized and controlled.

      100% agreed. The right is currently more dangerous but all corporate media is definitely propaganda meant to manipulate in one way or another. :(
