      I think a change in MSM’s coverage of the US presidential race (and of Biden/Harris in particular) could have made a world of difference

          Well “controlled” is just the wrong word. They are self censoring out of fear.

            If the fascists can keep them afraid and not reporting as they should, I consider that control.
