Manipulation the media has been occurring since 1883- and the corruption has only gotten easier for media outlets and their co-conspirators and overlords to manage the pageantry thru the curation of “news” via social media by taking advantage of the slow numbing of society’s apparent ability to make clear, individual decisions. Essentially, in the current era- it’s an algorithm cult.
In 1995, the following article was published which indicates the start of this manipulation in 1883 with Pulitzer. Reminder- this article was researched and published before the internet was but a wee child- so to speak!
If you do chose to read the above article, after reading - as a creative exercise- run a mental inventory of the number of media personalities who have waded into the political game. Yeah....it’s staggering.
And then there are the legacy media/special interest zealots like David Suzuki. Offering my contempt for this particular sect will be reserved for another day!
⁃ The corrupt media , which is not a new thing . The first time I became aware of it was talking to Marines who had been in Vietnam saying they had won the Tet Offensive and Cronkite lied saying they lost . The media has cranked up the lies every since because they know they can simply assign beliefs to the public and brainwash us .
And
⁃ The role of the DoJ ( FBI and CIA) is frightening. They are both directly influencing the media and they’re treating Americans like they are foreign enemies . The DoJ behaves like it is it’s own branch of government
We are just getting warmed up for 2024. Vivek and RFKjr are about to make it most interesting as they fearlessly campaign on shutting down the Swamp
I've listened to and watched a few RFK Jr's interviews and it's been an absolute eyeopener. I've known that our countries have been corrupted for a very long time but not the extent of it. Thanks for writing this up.

It’s worth the read.
