The Paid-Propaganda-as-News Scam

One of the biggest dirty secrets of the DNC media complex is that for some time now journalists and prominent media outlets have been receiving information—and in some cases even money—from political operative groups on behalf of their clients. I call this dirty secret the “Paid-Propaganda-As-News Scam”.

Over the past ten years or so, numerous of these “propaganda shops” have sprung into existence around the periphery of the American news media.

Naturally, media outlets do not want the public to know about these middlemen who provide information for the stories they produce. They want to maintain the illusion they are completely neutral truth-telling conveyors of just the facts in their coverage of daily events and in their opinion columns.

the news (media/publishers) have always been propaganda for the views that serve the media owners interest.

It has been going on in this country since Benjamin Franklin (the original 'fake news ' publisher).

This won't change. The consumers of media is what needs to change. They need to have more discernment and engage in critical thinking.

I would even go so far as to argue it is better now than the last because people have more access to information - they just aren't using it wisely.
