The larger agenda of... informing people about incorrect information?
We're at the point where NYT could publish a video of someone confessing to murder with a weapon in their hand and someone would comment "typical corporate media shills".
- leereeves 10y agoThe larger agenda of informing people of only incorrect information provided by independent media. Surely you've noticed the many stories about "fake news" recently. Where are the stories about independent media getting a scoop? Publishing a story the corporate media ignore or would prefer to ignore? Exposing corporate media errors or misquoted sources? Corporate media (usually) tells the truth, but only part of the truth, and in so doing they attempt to skew public opinion. In this case, they'd like to skew public opinion toward distrust of independent media.
