you tell yourself you live in a system with a 'free press' but neglect to consider that there are forces in existence that profit by making that not so, and here you will be exposed to more possibilities than the things you've been fed. you wonder why the truth of jfk's murder or the lie of 911 doesn't get covered at least as a possibility, till you read this;
Why do mainstream media reporters within ostensibly free democracies act
just like state media propagandists? Why are they so reliably
pro-establishment, all throughout every mainstream outlet? Why do they
so consistently marginalize any idea that doesn’t fit within the
extremely narrow Overton window of acceptable opinion?Why does anyone
who inconveniences western establishment power always find themselves on
the losing end of a trial by media? Why are they so dependably
adversarial toward anything that could be perceived as a flaw in any
nation outside the US-centralized power alliance, and so dependably
forgiving of the flaws of the nations within it?
The way I see it there are only two possible explanations for the unanimous consensus in mass media on these issues:
Explanation 1: The consensus exists because the mass media reporters are all telling the truth all the time.
OR
Explanation 2:
The consensus exists because there is some kind of system in place
which keeps all mass media reporters lying to us and painting a false
picture about what’s going on in the world.
Those are the only two
possibilities, and only one can be true, since any mixture of the two
would result in the loss of consensus.
Most mainstream westerners
harbor an unquestioned assumption that Explanation 1 is the only
possibility. The things they see on CNN, the BBC and the ABC are all
accurate descriptions of what’s really going on in the world, and the
consensus in their descriptions exists because they’re all describing
the same objective reality...........https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2018/12/10/how-the-plutocratic-media-keeps-its-staff-aligned-with-establishment-agendas/
