Has the news always been corrupt?

Or did the Internet/Social media fukk it all up?

For example, in the 50's-60's... were news networks actually being honest and not selling out, or has it just always been BS?

moreso now of course because we have literal jobs that focus solely on how to trick people on social media.

It may have always been corrupt, but at least it wasn't always so toxic. Before you had to find stories to fill a certain block. Once 24hr news came along, they started running out of chit to report on and had to basically start finding bullchit to fill in the time where nothing important was going on.

Why do you think science wants you to deny your own senses? They have been doing this for awhile...

If science can or the news can get you to deny your own senses you're pretty much fair game to be manipulated.

China.

They own all the networks they own politicians and they own corporate interests.

Didn't the news in the late 2000s try to make out George W. Bush to be a horrible President?

Rush Limbaugh was screaming about media bias since the 1980's, so there's nothing new about the current iteration of liberal media bias. And fifteen to twenty years ago, it was Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity on AM talk radio leading the charge against media bias. Newcomers to politics are only just hearing about it now due to either youth or because social media has brought it into everybody's pocket.

But if you want to see what it looked like historically, take a college history class srs. Or just Google "yellow journalism" in the early-to-mid twentieth century.

Or look up how the media treated early American presidential candidates.

As long as there has been money to be made by taking a side, there has been corruption. This shouldn't be a surprise.

Yes, the very first newspapers were created with a political agenda. Worker-owned media or publicly funded media often leans left as well.

The most successful news corporation in America leans heavily right.

Both sides are guilty of being sheeple and lacking critical thought, especially those that complain the loudest on this board. But the fake news shills sure take the cake in this regard.
