Dr. Robert W. Malone has brought up something similar (the world-wide covid response) in some of his interviews, basically attributing it to WEF.

I think WEF, and other international organizations (NATO, WHO, etc), are just branches that follow someone else.

I would ask: who is the synagogue of satan?

It started back in the 1950's or so with Project Mockingbird. This was a CIA plan to influence and direct the thoughts of the nation. To achieve this, consolidation of many different and independent newpapers and other news sources took place over decades. Congress and parliaments around the world gradually changed the media ownership laws to allow this centralization to take place.

Now with hedge funds like Blackrock and vanguard owning stocks in pretty much everything, the media has become a sales tool for many of the other more profitable business in these portfolios.

The gay press in North America became weaponized against the gay community about 8 years back; it's not just the mainstream press. It's been toxic propaganda 24/7 ever since.

These 6 Corporations Control 90% of The Media in America

The following link is from about 10 years ago about the long term media consolidation that is going on. Since then the trend has still been going in this direction on a global level. It is not just the news getting censored these days, lot of big tech companies as well.

With the media & IT agenda against vaccination hesitancy, all the money flows back to the pharma industry, also with similar centralization issues as the media. The WHO is going after all the constitutions of nations with its next pandemic preparedness plan, also under this pharma spell. The nutjob medical bureaucrats here in Oz are pushing for more tyranny.

With the Bill & Melinda Gates not for profit foundation in tight with a lot of funding the governance and research, It does appear to be a very profitable position. Not alone in setting the overall direction, but a key player when following the money.

Not true always. Respectfully, you are one who frequently posts something about us here in the US and we have no idea what youre speaking of due to how little you may recieve in Japan like we do here.

Its not quite all the exact same worldwide...but youre right too. The reports and clips that ARE identical w.wide? Im suspicious of that. We all should be....

Stay well over there MIM!

Best

Some truth inevitably reaches our ears but there are several group's that control the media.

First off are the OWNERS of the media be they private or national interests and they almost always have a political angle and viewpoint they want pushed onto and indoctrinated into the public, in the case of national owned media corporations it becomes a little trickier as they are almost always tied in some way to that nations intelligence services, think about him as another Soros but one that is distinctly more right wing and I have no idea if Soros has any Media interests or not but given his vast wealth I would not be surprised if he did, honestly these guy's are ten a penny, the elite controlling the people of the world through control of what they see and what they are told.

Independent media is almost always small and almost always end's up bought out by the BIG corporate media owners such as for example Australia's Murdoch who uses his media empire to back party's he wants in power around the world especially in nations were he owns news media producers.

The general rule is if they don't want you to know the mainstream media is unlikely to tell you, if they do want you to know they will trumpet it as loudly as they can.

But at least in the west while our media is definitely compromised, no if's and no but's about that, we still have at least a greater degree of the truth that reaches us albeit often skewed by political or economic view point's.

Newsmen for hire were as popular as gunslingers for hire in the pioneering day of the american west. Fake news has always been a thing but it became so relentless 8 years ago I turned it off and never looked back.

I can't remember a time when the media wasn't politically controlled and used for spoon-feeding the public. This is a fact of life in every nation. As zoologist Irenäus Eibl-Eibesfeldt wrote in The Biology of Peace and War: “Public opinion is formed by interest groups (politicians, arms manufacturers, the military) that deceive the electorate by giving them false or one-sided information.”

Many people doubt what they read and hear in the news. In the United States, for example, a 2012 Gallup poll asked people “how much trust and confidence” they had in the accuracy, fairness, and completeness of the news reports of newspapers, TV, and radio. The answer from 6 out of 10 people was either “not very much” or “none at all.” Is such distrust justified?

Many journalists and the organizations they work for have expressed a commitment to producing accurate and informative reports. Yet, there is reason for concern. Consider the following factors:

MEDIA MOGULS. A small but very powerful number of corporations own primary media outlets. Those outlets exert a strong influence on which stories get covered, how they are covered, and how prominently they are covered. Because most corporations are designed for profit, decisions made by media outlets can be motivated by economic interests. Stories that may hamper the profits of the owners of a news organization may go unreported.

GOVERNMENTS. Much of what we learn in the media has to do with the people and the affairs of government. Governments want to convince the public to support their policies and their officials. And because the media draw on content from the government, journalists and government sources at times cooperate with one another.

ADVERTISING. In most lands, media outlets must make money in order to stay in business, and most of it comes from advertising. In the United States, magazines get between 50 and 60 percent of their revenue from advertising, newspapers 80 percent, and commercial television and radio 100 percent. Understandably, advertisers do not want to sponsor programs that cast an unfavorable light on their products or style of management. If they do not like what a news outlet is producing, they can advertise elsewhere. Knowing this, editors may suppress news stories that cast a negative light on sponsors.

DISHONESTY. Not all reporters are honest. Some journalists fabricate stories. A few years ago, for example, a reporter in Japan wanted to document how divers were defacing coral in Okinawa. After not finding any vandalized coral, he defaced some himself and then took photos of it. Photos can also be manipulated to deceive the public. Photograph-altering technology has become more effective, and some manipulations are practically impossible to detect.

SPIN. Even if facts are as solid as bricks, how they are presented depends on the judgment of the journalist. What facts should be included in a story, and which should be left out? A soccer team, for example, may have lost a match by two goals. That is a fact. But why the team lost is a tale that a journalist can tell in many ways.

OMISSION. In arranging facts to create a compelling story, journalists often exclude details that would introduce complications or unresolved issues. This causes some facts to be exaggerated and others to be diminished. Because television anchors and reporters may sometimes need to tell a complex story in a minute or so, important details can be skipped.

COMPETITION. In recent decades, as the number of television stations multiplied, the amount of time viewers spent watching just one station fell drastically. To keep viewers interested, news stations were compelled to offer something unique or entertaining. Commenting on this development, the book Media Bias states: “The [television] news became a running picture show, with images selected to shock or titillate, and stories shortened to match an [ever-shorter] attention span on the part of viewers.”

MISTAKES. Because they are human, journalists make honest mistakes. A misspelled word, a misplaced comma, an error in grammar​—these can all distort the meaning of a sentence. Facts may not be carefully checked. Numbers too can easily trip up a journalist who, in the scramble to meet a deadline, might easily type 10,000 instead of 100,000.

FALSE ASSUMPTIONS. Accurate reporting is not as easy as some might think. What seems to be a fact today may be proved wrong tomorrow. The earth, for example, was once believed to be the center of our solar system. Now we know that the earth circles the sun.

A Need for Balance

While it is wise not to believe everything we read in the news, it does not follow that there is nothing we can trust. The key may be to have a healthy skepticism, while keeping an open mind.

The Bible says: “Does not the ear itself test out words as the palate tastes food?” (Job 12:11) Here, then, are some tips that will help us to test out the words we hear and read:

PROVIDER: Does the report come from a credible, authoritative person or organization? Does the program or publication have a reputation for seriousness or for sensationalism? Who provide the funds for the news source?

SOURCES: Is there evidence of thorough research? Is the story based on just one source? Are the sources reliable, fair, and objective? Are they balanced, or have they been selected to convey only one point of view?

PURPOSE: Ask yourself: ‘Is the news item primarily to inform or entertain? Is it trying to sell or support something?’

TONE: When the tone of a news item is angry, spiteful, or highly critical, it suggests that an attack is under way and not a reasoned argument.

CONSISTENCY: Are the facts consistent with those in other articles or reports? If stories contradict one another, be careful!

TIMELINESS: Is the information recent enough to be acceptable? Something thought to be correct 20 years ago may be discounted today. On the other hand, if the news item is a breaking story, it may lack complete and comprehensive information.

So, can you trust the news media? Sound advice is found in the wisdom of Solomon, who wrote: “Anyone inexperienced puts faith in every word, but the shrewd one considers his steps.”​—Proverbs 14:15.

Let's see if I can find some good examples on youtube for that one, the first one I was reminded of was this one:

On the preceding page for the page linked in my signature (entitled The Manipulation of Information; Awake!—2000), which is part of the same article about propaganda, there's a whole section devoted to "Playing on the Emotions".

The exaggerated South Park spoof of Glenn Beck was another one that came to mind:

Actually, I don't really feel like looking for more examples now, maybe someone else can think of a few good ones. I don't actually watch newsmedia or alternative newsmedia all that often.
