Theory: The news media is lying to you because they want you to make lying illegal so they can determine what is a lie and censor

propaganda (lying) aimed at the american public is legal only since 2012, so i dont think they want or need to make it illegal. plus, lies and censorship were the norm even before that and they did it non-stop without consequences anyway..

Yep, came here to mention the Smith-Mundt act. This is a great topic, OP, and I'm curious what solutions will be possible. Nobody except the most checked-out want to be constantly lied to and manipulated. It's time it stopped.

Interesting take on the situation, I'd instantly agree if it weren't for human greed and what lengths people will go to satisfy it.

I'm still not convinced that this isn't just a bunch of number pushers willing to sell the last piece of trust in the media for a few dollars extra.

    MSM ratings have been declining for years. They are trying to juggle two needs

    1. get higher ratings

    2. show news the elites want and allow

    Easy to do one but hard to do both

    The news TV shows lost ratings cuz of internet and more people going there to get news, no/less ads and more truth, people knew deep down for years the media was lying. JFK being a big thing, watergate, then 9/11 and WMDs were last straw.

    the music industry being hurt by downloading is similar. They have slwoly been retaking control over the internet. If advertising model is dead that'd be great but we are on this obscure website with no ads in the first placer cuz we are a fews of the few people to avoid other sites like reddit which is heavily censored not to mention things like fb which is ad heavy, twitter, instagram etc which most normie humans use.

    Pretty much in-line with what I posted yesterday

    we're approaching an age of media rebrands IMO. all the media will rebrand, so nobody knows what's truth or not. It'll all be a fucked up mess like they want.
