The media is the talking piece for huge corporations, all in collusion oligarchs and governmental bodies who practice disinformation/information tactics. Eventually they want you to trust nobody. Just a big herd of confused disinformed and frustrated sheeple.
"when you control the message, you don't need to control the masses. They will control themselves" These e in their high castles want us to revolt, so out of the mess, they will pick up the pieces and create the world they want, and the people will want it too. The last 20 yrs has been one big psy-op.
