There’s no young hungry journalist out there willing to break a unprecedented story to make a name? Are they all that willing to follow the narrative from the top? Or is there work suppressed if it doesn’t fit the narrative?
Suppression has to be the culprit. There’s no way to make tens of thousands of participants toe the line in exactly the same manner with no exceptions.
So these are editorial decisions by a smaller group.
It doesn’t matter that you have the story of the century if no platform is willing to broadcast it.
BTW what we’re seeing with this COVID story is the flaw in the suppression strategy. In the internet age there’s really no way to plug all the potential leaks, and if a story is explosive enough the propaganda outlets must try to get in front of it with spin.

You're right.
A journalist who isn't willing to be a propagandist won't stay employed. You either have to be too stupid to question anything (Blitzer and Fredo) or a pathological liar (Anderson Cooper and Erin Burnett).

This is just proves that Huxley was right and Orwell was a pussy.
