From the printing press to CNN, powerful interests have always been involved in shaping the mass media, censoring what they don't want people to know. James Corbett, host of The Corbett Report, recently produced a series on the history of the media matrix - how we got to where we are today, starting with the Gutenberg press.

Kat Brooks is coming on the show to tell her story tomorrow. She is a seasoned reporter, copy editor, photographer and filmmaker who most recently worked for the local paper in Chewelah, WA. While covering what she would describe as corruption among city leaders, she began publishing a fictitious blog that detailed the issues from behind the scenes, but with made up characters like “Mayor McKnuttsak”. She was fired for this when the local politicians figured it out - and complained to her boss. ANY QUESTIONS?

The AP, one of the alleged recipients of USAID largesse, has come out swinging:
https://apnews.com/article/usaid-funding-trump-musk-misinformation-c544a5fa1fe788da10ec714f462883d1
Do read the very last paragraph as it's hilarious. The article is basically "We're just neutral fact-checkers examining these claims..." [spends whole article doing technical nitpicking] "And by the way, did you know USAID is a wonderful independent agency bringing hope and innovation to 100 countries for 60 glorious years?"
The cognitive dissonance is amazing:
"These claims about USAID are misleading and need careful fact-checking. Also here's some unexamined agency propaganda we'll just drop in at the end apropos of nothing in particular!"
It's like watching someone insist they're not biased while wearing the team jersey.
