Yes of course, I was referring to the press in general. Rupert Murdoch & Co. have a kind of similar influence as well. They are not held to the same standards of accountability and I don't think people realize how bad it is, that most of our news is narrative. As the population starts to become aware - the other problem is that truth is hard to come by, it takes work, and also rational readership - the population is really, really easily led astray by basically anything. Combined with Twitter, Social media, it's a hugely serious problem. So we have the Truth being twisted by institutional sources, 1000's of other outlets with no commitment to the truth, and then millions of individual voices spouting raw inanity. I wish I knew the answer.
