Turns out we have state run media. Specifically the Deepstate run media

"Yesterday's report that the US government has been funding outlets such as Politico, the Associated Press, the BBC, and others raised more questions than it answered - though the obvious implication is that the US government has effectively been propping up regime-friendly media, which then peddles regime-friendly coverage - and spent years attacking independent outlets such as ZeroHedge, The Federalist, and many unlucky ones who have since been starved out of business.

And while funding for Politico and others has come from all over the federal government - WikiLeaks, citing a RSF report, highlighted that USAID was funding over 6,200 journalists across 707 media outlets and 279 "media" NGOs, which includes 90% of the reportage out of Ukraine."

What I find hilarious was before Elon purchased Twitter they started labeling all media outlets that were not on the USAID payroll as "State Run Media" It's one big psyop

And that’s obviously how you control the narrative, or at least in part for sure.

I want to see one article written by any of those that were paid to see if it wasn't a slanted hit piece

At first, I was shocked that this was happening.. but after thinking about it a little more, I feel like I was just fricking stupid.

We all knew they controlled CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC.. pretty much all of the news networks.. we knew this..

Wouldn't it make sense that they also controlled all of the printed news as well? I'm sure they have controlled the printed market way before they controlled the TV market..

It makes me wonder just how brainwashed we have all been for pretty much our whole lives..

The Chicago Sun Times is owned by Chicago Public Media. They don't even try to hide it anymore.

One of the most feared sentences in DC: Wikileaks has entered the chat.

And the usual parrots on here were gleefully and condescendingly aligned with this talking point. I wish Rex's normal account was still here. Would love his takes
