I agree, all my warning signals go off when I watch any kind of news no matter what political bias....

There is a documentary I watch called the Hypernormalization, I keep thinking about this theory whenever I watch corporate media. Russia did this to it's citizens and our government through the NDAA back in 2012 allowing our media to lie to the public through government sanctioned propaganda.
