I am always amazed on how people tagged medias as fake. I don't really know how they can be branded as fakes when they have proofs, and evidences that supports the news. Is it just because the news is not aligned to what you think is happening? and you oppose what is in the news?. then It is not that news is faked, but your opinion is just BIASED.

Replying to OP

It is really pretty common now to threaten the media in each country (if you're well aware of what is happening right now in SEA). It is saddening, but reality is bullshit

I wish I could trust the media in the states and expect an unbiased opinion from them but I don't. One of the reasons I don't trust the media is the Smith-Mundt act which banned propaganda was repealed in July 2nd, 2013 (ironically right before the 4th of July to enslave our minds to their brainwashing means).

Another reason is they have sponsors, people that pay them money to run ads or people that pay them money to keep quiet. Very rarely will they ever go after their own sponsors or people that grease their cogs. Unless the alternative online media break something that goes viral and they are forced to cover it. A present day example of this is how the Wuhan virus originated. Many alternative media sources broke that the Wuhan virus outbreak originated in a lab. The media tried to cover that the virus originated from bats naturally. However, if you look at the virus it looks man-made and has the same payload receptors as HIV. Now the media is forced to cover the possibility that it came from a lab leak in China. The Chinese have a broad influence in media in the United States so the media will try to cover this up. Do you think they bought Disney just to make a profit? They want to use them to influence Americans:

John Cena Apologies for calling Taiwan a country (Taiwan is an independent country he just wants the FED Stamps (USD) from China which will have value for a limited time only).

I could go on about how each media outlet has its own bias due to its sponsors or the party they represent. NBC/MSNBC/CNBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, and practically most of the mainstream media have supported and are biased to the beliefs of the Democrat party. Fox News and other alternatives appear to be bias towards the beliefs of the Republican party or independents. However, a large sect of Fox News leans towards the Neo-cons like Mitt Romney which support wars which brings big government spending and monies to their cronies. The same can be said of the rest of the mainstream media outfits that lean towards the Dems they are out for their money grab of propaganda for big pharma pushing the vaccines. So my real opinion is be selective of who you can believe and take everything with a grain of salt.

Very interesting video of Yuri Bezmenov below about Idealogical Subversion and how the media and western governments are bring Soviet-era rhetoric to the western world:

My favorite part of the video is how the crowd from the 1980s laughs at this very serious man that it can't happen here or that is crazy but it is at this very moment what he covers.
