I don't seem to have researched this well because I'm not agreeing whole-heartedly with you?
I am asking if you really don't believe that we (and much of the American public) realizes what you seem to think that only you and a select few others know.
I'm asking why you think it's okay? I also asked how you felt about low income folk and older people that don't have internet access being fed propaganda that doesn't accurately reflect what our destructive foreign policy is.
I haven't researched it? What's the basis for that conclusion?
Because you didn't seem to be aware and thought it a stretch that CIA would influence and "script" the MSM.

I provided a link up thread to a released CIA document pretty much saying that Yes the CIA has been involved in the production of MSM news ....Its not YT so you should be capable of navigating to the info .

The funny thing to me is that you think Fox and your preferred outlets are somehow magically immune to that influence, LOL.

I hardly ever touch it. No it's not immune.
Do you believe we are at war in the ME because we are spreading joy and freedom?

Here I will drop another link to the CIA's relationship with the MSM news in the USA www.muckrock.com... It was a part of Operation Mockingbird en.wikipedia.org... The CIA are not out of business and are a part of the IC (intelligence community ) do the math yourself
CNN has hired the daughter of President Obama’s closest adviser to cover the Justice Department. Laura Jarrett, daughter of Obama confidante Valerie Jarrett, quietly joined the network in September as a reporter in the Washington bureau, the New York Post reported.
The younger Ms. Jarrett had been working as a private attorney following her graduation from Harvard Law school.

So you are saying that there is nothing to see and we should move along ...is that correct ? ...
Equating something that irritates you about a news broadcast with pure CIA input is absurd.
Prior to joining CNN, Jarrett worked as a litigation attorney in Chicago. In private practice, Jarrett focused on defending companies and individuals in government investigations brought by the Justice Department and Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as complex commercial litigation. Jarrett also devoted significant time to pro bono cases, including the representation of a sex trafficking victim who successfully used a new Illinois law to expunge her past convictions.
I had focused on your conclusion (CIA input is absurd.) Is it absurd to think that they influence the MSM ? Is it absurd to think that they might be planting story's ? Is it absurd to think that some of the things they say to the MSM are not true ? Is it absurd to think that the CIA might have a agenda ? Is it absurd to think that the MSM are tools of the CIA ?
The "realities of the decades long influence of the CIA on American life" does not equal "the whining and crying about 'fake news' from the Trump camp." We all know that the CIA affects the media, the government, the banking systems, etc. in myriad ways. Equating something that irritates you about a news broadcast with pure CIA input is absurd.

I would think that calling MSM Fake News is not a stretch and it would be absurd for anyone to think other wise .

How odd, that you were not calling Fox out for this for the last eight years.
Hypocritical nonsense.

I'm pretty sure no one could even guess what I'm thinking. It's irrelevant. Just know I find this VERY entertaining!

No. This post is just liberal nonsense. All nonsense is not equal.
Fox is bias. We know that. What they did not do however is intentionally attempt to stir up as much divisiveness and racism in the way an outlet like CNN does, or work in tandem in a corrupt behind the scenes manner with a presidential candidate as CNN also did with Hillary and her cronies.
So the difference is while Fox is a bias outlet, CNN has essentially turned into a political arm of the Dems, other wise known as state-run media and fascism. That you can't tell the difference is the foundation of your problems.
