It's not really any different than the US.
Lots of information tends to be "widely known" online to those who care to dig, but the mainstream outlets stick to some narrative that is best described as "half truth".
- yucky 4y agoYes indeed. And if you really want to go down a rabbit hole, test it out on the subjects that find the likes of CNN & FOX agreeing in lockstep. More often than not it's to hide the truth than to report it.

- duxup 4y agoI find a lot of that information is in the mainstream media… just that you have to pay attention.
- noobermin 4y agoCase in point, the death of Epstein.
- timmytokyo 4y agoI'm genuinely curious. What hidden but verifiable facts have been hidden from the public with respect to the Epstein death?
- sudosysgen 4y agoNot much was hidden, the issue is the pantomime that it was completely reasonable to expect that a suicide of such a figure when the cameras were off and the guards weren't aware the cameras were off is a complete coincidence, and playing coy with his connections to the elite. Those facts weren't hidden but they weren't mentioned far less than they should and eventually not at all. Beyond that the media failed in their duty to confront the authorities.
- spamizbad 4y agoIn the case of Epstein, journalists weren't allowed by their editors to do their jobs.
- tootie 4y agoThe death of Epstein was reported based on the observable facts. Realistically, he probably killed himself and he probably never had any incriminating evidence on anyone to warrant a hit. The conspiracy theories are all 99% speculation. The fact that notable people travelled with him isn't proof of anything. We have some actual evidence against Prince Andrew and it's all gotten in the press. We have no proof on anyone or anything else beyond what was charged in court against him and Maxwell. Reporting anything else would be unethical and unprofessional.
- svachalek 4y agoIt's interesting that even in US papers, the sudden trend of Russian oligarchs to become suicidal or murder-suicidal overnight is largely reported at face value, at best giving the context about how suddenly and frequently it is occurring.
- tootie 4y agoMost mainstream press won't report things they can't prove. When they report on a Russian journalist falling out a window, they will usually mention that lots of opposition journalists have fallen out of windows and let readers draw conclusions, but we still have absolutely no direct proof they're being assassinated. I think news consumers have started to change their expectations and just really, really want pat answers fed to them rather than reading about what we actually know.
- russdill 4y agoThere's lots of information out there that's widely known that is true. There's also lots of widely known information that is untrue.
