All corporate media is propaganda, all of it. Every bit of it.

Yes. +100

it's REALLY hard to get people to realize this. It's gotten a lot better though, 15 years ago 1/2 the board would be screaming my tinfoil hat is on too tight and I should go back on my meds.. Haha, now I understand how Nazi Germany came into existence as well as the Bolshevik revolution.

Yep. Including Fox.

Much of the TDS has more to do with the Media losing it's power and influence. We're seeing it with the NYT Board of Editors putting out opinion pieces about how "Public Servants" can and should oppose and resist the policies of a democratically elected executive. We're seeing it with Youtube's new algos reducing views to independent content creators from Pewdiepie to Sargon to Razorfist, while ramping up hits to failing CNN and partnering with Vox and Vice (and destroying their brand in the process).

The one thing Trump has done, a horse that cannot be put back in the barn, is exposing Corporate Media and hastening their destruction.

The Powers-that-be are pining for the loss of the false fraudulent consensus they built over the past 70 years by marching pretty much lockstep on policy issues, with a little fake fighting over cultural issues and some celebrity gossip for 'safe' controversy.

Interestingly, the biggest losers of all has been Conservativism, Inc. of the Kristol, George Will, Noonan, Jonah Goldberg, and Jennifer Rubin variety. It's been illustrative to see how much they've dumped positions they used to support and joined with Establishment Neoliberals in trying to dethrone Orange Man Bad and push the Status Quo.

I believe that they believe that once the Trump Era is over, they will be able to corral the Trump coalition around Mittens somehow. That's gone forever.

I notice how the agitprop herders are nudging Fox slowly to the left. They are trying to make it a 'maybe we can sneak it by' maneuver.

I scarcely watch it much, but my wife does. I ask her when the 'beaver patrol' is on, and she gets mad and says: "You can't see anything!"

It was inevitable. The screaming bullhorn of public brainwashing prevails!

Agreed. That is uniform for the Western world these days, in other countries they are funded by taxpayer money so they are even more arrogant. They are losing their master of the narrative status and this is their last fight. I also remember Ron Paul being systematically suppressed and smeared by the media, he never had a chance to begin with.
