    To actually answer the question:

    Because most of the old media functionally has the CIA as an editorial board.

    Immensely ironically, we know a lot about that because of Noam Chomsky.

    Who… is also in the Epstein files.

    Quite a lot.

    Yeah, it wasn’t just the right wing of the country that has been existing in a constructed media hyperreality, it has also been the left wing of the country.

      A better example would be Reid Hoffman and Laurence Summors. Both in Epstein Files, and massive impacts on Democratic party.

        They kind of just explained that… Chomsky is famous for writing about manufacturing consent, which is exactly what the media is doing here.

          Yeah, thank you.

          Chomsky functionally was the primary whistleblower on how the media in the US gets routinely manipulated by intelligence agencies…

          … and its now pretty clear that he got folded in, to being part of that the system that does that.

      I wouldn’t describe Noam as left wing, he’s advocating for Ukraine’s unilateral surrender rn. He’s just Red Fascist.
