Growing up, I remember Clown News Network and the now cucked mainstream media outlets were all relatively fair. Even my hardcore conservative parents trusted the content in their stories in the early 2000s. Does anyone know when the FUCK they turned into a DNC-infiltrated propaganda machine?

MSM is and always has been propaganda. But previously journalism was a profession, with editorial standards. I noticed the first steep dropoff in quality in the late 2000s, as the rise of clickbait-driven new media forced major layoffs at the legacy media. At that time, it seemed like the stories were being written by interns without editors. But the final collapse came with the Trump's election, and the simultaneous ascendancy of woke bullshit in the culture. Everything is an editorial now. The purpose is not to inform, but to remind you what to think in increasingly unhinged style. Even the wire services are affected. History tells us yellow journalism is the norm, but we had at least the pretense of objectivity until the 2000s.
