I appreciate the point you're making, and I think there's a lot of truth to it. People need to see corporate media for what they are, very much like gossip magazine. I would put Fox in that same group, as their reporting changes with who is in the White House. For example, if Trump was in the white house I don't think they would be reporting on the pandemic and vaccine in the way they are now.
The power of corporate television news is not just about how many people watch (viewership is thankfully declining). 1) they help set the narrative in crises, especially at the beginning of a crisis where visual images and repeated narratives are powerful propaganda.

Thank goodness for substack, telegram, bitchute, rumble, signal ect!

Remember when people confused the barrage of Covid scoreboards sensing cases == deaths. They pushed fear and got it in spades.
