I don't at all understand why you DON'T think the bulk of the media is controlled to manipulate public opinion. You don't see how articles in different mainstream media sources basically say the same thing? You don't see the media bias regarding certain political viewpoints? You don't see how anything that doesn't fit in to the narrative is relegated to alternative media "free speech zones" along with UFOs, Q crap, and other alternative facts? You odn't see how the made-up "Uyghur genocide" narrative is pushed by EVERY single media outlet, and challenging it is now tantamount to Holocaust denial and even a prosecutable offence in some nations? You don't see how the media (including their Asian-American stooges) almost unanimously blamed all the anti-Asian attacks on Trump, covid, and white supremacy when it was patently obvious that the attacks long predated Trump or covid and the attackers were mostly young urban blacks in a few municipalities who were probably instigated to some degree by pro-white racism on the part of Asians and Chinese?

I don't know how you can possibly live in the United States and not see any of this. Most AMERICANS have little faith in the media. Mind you, I am NOT bashing the tactic of media manipulation because I think it's necessary for the US or any other country to censor the media for social and strategic purposes, although the US doing so while talking about "free speech" from the other side of its mouth makes it seem quite hypocritical.
