That's an insanely broad brush. The mainstream press includes the NY Times, The Washington Post, The Economist, The Atlantic, and NPR. Please explain how they fabricate narratives, how they destroy the lives of those who accidentally enter their crosshairs, and how they retroactively alter their archives to change history.

I'd expect your summary dismissal of the mainstream media from a Trump supporter. I'm surprised to see it on HN. So please elaborate.

When was the last time you read a positive story on Putin in the NYtimes?

All those outlets are compromised expect maybe NPR. Eric Weinstein calls it the gated institutional narrative, it is on you you still consider the mainstream anything more than shadow of what they represented in the past.

Theres nothing positive about Putin because he is a murderous dictator. There’s nothing positive about Kim Jong Un or Orban or MBS either. The NYTimes’ journalistic integrity is not measured by positive coverage of dictators in fact if anything it’s the opposite.

* CBS has recently been caught fabricating lines at a drive through testing facility in Michigan

* Nicholas Sandmann

* “Experts generally agree that N95 masks have little value in the community.”

* Local “news” stories that are effectively infomercials

* https://youtu.be/ksb3KD6DfSI

* allegedly CNN removing the Larry King episode from Google Play with a call from Tara Reade’s mother

* implicitly or explicitly suggesting unrelated archive footage represents the story being reported (Italian hospital footage in a story about New York hospitals, firing range footage presented as foreign conflict)

* the my pillow guy, who retooled to support health workers being railroaded simply for standing next to Trump

* the sudden and nearly universal admiration for GWB

* NYT editing an article, without notice that originally claimed HRC implied the Russians were grooming Tulsi Gabbard.

I have a terrible memory for specific details, so those just the ones I can think of recently. I primarily listen to NPR in the car. Their bias is staggering. They present opinion as fact frequently, often misrepresenting parties in opposition.
