Mainstream Media are Trumpets of Their Billionaire Owners

Legacy Media Don't Tell You The Truth but What Their Owners WANT You To See

I still wonder at the incredibly naive and gullible people in the West and especially in US (where people should have known better at least since JFK!) who believe that their mainstream media are 'trustworthy', that they are telling them the absolute truth 100% objectively, and moreover that there is a 'free press' in the West unlike somewhere in Russia or China. The levels of idiocy of people who believe that are higher than Eiffel Tower and even Himalayas I'd say.

Again, to disillusion dummies. IDEALLY, media should report objectively and tell people facts, not opinions, true. But we don't live in a perfect world. We live in a human world, and human world is corrupt and flawed, just like human nature. Reporters are also human, they might have their own bias, including political and partisan one, so they WON'T BE REPORTING OBJECTIVELY having this bias. Even if we'd assume they'd honestly try it (which they won't), their bias would still prevent them from it. We all are biased somewhat (even me!), and oftentimes we can't even account for our own bias. Hence, even if journalists aimed at objective reporting, their bias would have prevented them from it. They're human, not robots after all.

But the point is that they don't even aim at it. There's no honest journalism in the West, not any longer. Journalists tell you what the owners of the magazine or channel where they work at WANT you to hear, not the truth. Because human nature isn't only biased, it's also corrupt, and the money decide everything in this world. Thus, people who own and/or fund media, have an unlimited power over that media content. So much for the 'free independent' press in the West. The press is NEVER FREE, it's ALWAYS a trumpet of its owners.

Now, who owns/funds most of the Western or say American media? You can Google it, all the info is still available even on Wikipedia. If you'd start Googling, you'd be surprised that MOST OF AMERICAN MAINSTREAM MEDIA (especially Left-leaning ones) have strong connections with American billionaires. That is, Rothschild family have big share in The Economist. Bill Gates distributes millions of dollars to CNN, NBC News, etc. Jeff Bezos directly OWNS The Washington Post. The Wall Street Journal ownership is mentioned in its very name.

So, almost EVERY BIG AMERICAN MEDIA OUTLET is either owned or funded by some billionaire. Hence, those billionaires directly control this media content which means all the information you receive in the news. So media aren't telling you what's true or what's important - they're telling you WHAT THEIR BILLIONAIRE OWNERS WANT YOU TO SEE AND HEAR. It's vital to keep this in mind all the time while reading our 'news'.

But what's about fact-checking, establishment dummies would argue. There are 'independent fact-checkers' out there and also serious fact-checking organizations like MediaBias or Snopes who surely would have told us if our media indeed turned into billionaire elite propaganda tool? Well, really? If this billionaire elite was able to buy all our newspapers, it doesn't have enough money to buy 'fact-checkers' as well, seriously? How does that make sense? By the way, people including scientists and academics who fell foul from our system know well that those 'fact-checkers' operate more like censors than actual fact-checkers.

Even if you still don't believe that our media and fact-checkers can directly mislead us, they actually DON'T HAVE TO DIRECTLY LIE TO YOU IN ORDER TO MISLEAD YOU. There are multiple other ways, like SELECTIVE reporting and selective fact-checking, for instance. For example, media would put into spotlight what their billionaire owners want you to see, and simply won't report what the elite doesn't want you to see. Likewise, fact-checkers would fact-check only sources which billionaire elite wants to fact-check (even if accurately), and SIMPLY WONT FACT-CHECK those which elite doesn't want to be fact-checked.

That is, Fox News would be 'fact-checked' much more frequently than CNN (which is in fact true). Hence people would think that Fox News are less trustworthy than CNN if there are more fakes coming from Fox News - but the truth is that Fox News are just got FACT-CHECKED MUCH MORE FREQUENTLY. And if you got fact-checked nore frequently, you'd also get caught more frequrntly. If CNN were fact-checked as often as Fox News then I'm damn well sure there would be much more fakes coming from CNN than from Fox News. The point is that CNN just aren't fact-checked as much by biased fact-checkers and hence get away with their fakes in most of the cases.

Another way how media can mislead you without directly lying to you is LARGELY overplaying one issue while DOWNPLAYING another. That was excessively done with COVID when danger of COVID was largely overplayed in media but danger of lockdowns - largely downplayed. Or when efficacy of vaccines was largely overplayed but their side effects - downplayed. Before COVID, media were overplaying the danger of the right and downplaying the danger of the Left. And so on.

So you see now why media aren't telling you the truth - because they tell you what their billionaire owners want you to hear instead - and also how exactly media mislead you. The only question which remains is why do you still believe your media knowing it all.
