People really seem to have a very shallow understanding of media. Goes a LONG way in explaining why so many people believe so much utter bullcrap.

Anywhere OUTSIDE THE US is where you should go for actual news about the US.

Biden Administration Secretly Meets With Press To Manipulate Coverage


If they hadn't, they'd be the first Democrat administration since FDR to NOT collude with the press for more favorable coverage.

Looks like Don Lemon of CNN got the message. He's a good little propagandist.

It all makes sense once you recognize media outlets as nothing more than PR firms for the state.

Are you sure you can trust the weather report? It comes from the government, you know.

For the millionth time, YouTube is a medium, not a source. Dismissing something because it's on YouTube is like dismissing it because it's on television, or in a newspaper or book.

The medium doesn't care about the content. The sooner you figure that out, the sooner you'll stop making stupid remarks like that.
Then why don't people mention the source when they post a You Tube video? Some posters just put up a link and think everyone has the time to watch random videos by some unknown author.

The Biden Administration and the media define the "truth" as they see fit. Biden is the president after all and leads our country. Therefore he has the authority to mold and shape the narrative as he likes.

Disagree with his version of the "truth"? Then you are just a nutty conspiracy theorist.

The media has been in cahoots with dems since the Johnson administration. If you tour the lbj ranch in Texas, you can see his office with 3 tvs. One for each of the networks in that day. They will openly tell you that lbj would monitor their broadcasts, and if he didn't like something he saw, he could call up the network to complain. They being good dems, would surely listen.
