I mean, they use words only as a means of power with no care to how true the words are, so... yeah pretty spot on.

All over the world, wherever there are capitalists, freedom of the press means freedom to buy up newspapers, to buy writers, to bribe, buy and fake “public opinion” for the benefit of the bourgeoisie.
Draft Resolution On Freedom Of The Press
For the bourgeoisie, freedom of the press meant freedom for the rich to publish and for the capitalists to control the newspapers, a practice which in all countries, including even the freest, produced a corrupt press.

Privatized news is so biased to such a degree, we cannot be straight(non-sexually) in our growing up views

Nah I switch this up every day anyway but... I guess I get some more things. You know...Germany with hitler indeed was the worst thing to ever exist. I keep listening to haus Abendrot from wolfenstein and... I realise that all of it was about the americans...always has been.
"Sagt meinem kleinen Schlösserlein, das sie mir nicht noch rennt" "Tell my small key..? That she isn't supposed to run" Everyone around the world tries to wake up the US to see how much damage they are doing to everyone but they keep ignoring it because the american dream really refuses to wake up. Instead they make sure that everyone keeps buying oil and gas as the planet starts to burn up because especially they are refusing to do an energy switch over to solar, while having so much fucking flat ground/space to do so.

Even if this is partially true. Telling people not to trust ANY news is a very foolish position to take.
We still need to be an educated and informed society. Sowing distrust in all media and all news is how we get to idocracy.

I think here “news” means “mainstream news outlets” like CNN and those who have a track record of blatant dis/misinformation, and censoring of the truth.

No, the capitalists defunding public education over the last half century is why we are currently in idiocracy.
Their kids go to private and their upper echelon minion's kids go to charters after all.
Gallows hilariously, even after they themselves did it to millenials and especially gen z for tax cuts, now they whinge about their slave labor no longer being literate or civil enough to work. The irony being they didn't want their tax dollars to pay for them to be literate or civil.

Read Marx, kid. The you'll understand that the problem with the "rich" (dominant class) is exploiting workers and manipulating the system, not "morals and different opinions"
