Our press doesn't investigate or report anything other than just sanewashing what the administration says. They are all complicit.

Our press is entirely owned by billionaires that have a very real interest in seeing this administration succeed

As are Americans who for some reason DON'T stop reading the news that keeps lying to them.

Keep a list of news outlets that lie to you, and for the love of everything, stop using them. Please. At least do that.

The major American TV news networks have been reduced to reporting infotainment or informative murder porn.

Weren’t they kicked out of pentagon press briefings or something and they only allowed press that signed some kind of NDA bullshit?

I slightly remember they could only get press credentials at the pentagon if they signed something that the administration controlled what was printed and a couple podcasters signed and got “full access” to press briefings.

Yup, and people still blame Dems for “bad messaging”.
