People just don't realize "news" is a clever way to force propaganda onto unsuspecting audiences framed in a specific way to get their "worldview" across. Or the way I put it is; 'corporate/state propaganda disguised as news and paid for by those whose interests they serve'. Basically one big ad, and if an actual, real, juicy news item gets in so much the better. The trick is sifting through it for actual facts.
It's tedious and tiresome and most folks don't have the time--like I do--to do so. A 30 minute news show on TV while eating dinner may be all the time they have. So the general consensus stands and the narrative become the truth in most minds. And trying to change their minds is harder than talking to a clam about current events. The falsities stand. Sad but true. Peace, All
