Seems like just telling the truth with no prejudice either way would be profitable and much easier.
you'd think so
I don't think any kid who grew up wanting to be a journalist started out thinking they should lie and mislead the public, but somewhere along the way it happens to a great many of them.

Our “news” was full of propaganda during WWii. Probably before.
And the only changes have been away from nationalism, to globalism.
Look back at the Cold War, weapons specifically. The MIC kept us up nights eating Roll Aids over the planes, tanks, ships, subs, and warheads the Soviet Union had.
We now know that was a joke. “Quantity has its own qualities” Their quality was absent, performance was not as advertised.
We know that now, The intelligence folks knew much of it then. They all lied. Partly to bleed Russia, largely to bleed US.
Yep, propaganda was used to stir up war with Spain, one of the worst moves the U.S. ever made. People were thrown in jail in WW1 for disputing the official story.
Patriotism (and religion) is the last refuge of a scoundrel.

Nobody is going to watch the story that leads with "light snow tonight, shouldn't amount to much", nor "agricultural bill introduced includes slightly changed means tests for handouts".
You want eyeballs for your advertisers?
SNOWMAGEDDON!

Several good points made by contributors to this thread. I would like to add the WEF/NWO participants purchased control of the MSM and they still pretty much control what is reported and how it is spun. Both points have already been made. The facts are the facts, that has been said earlier also. What we get from the MSM is someone’s opinion of what happened. Good to know the evil ones are figuring out they are losing their influence nd people are finding other sources. Now to abolish censoring and restore the First Ammendment rights.

For liberals and anarchists, power and control is opium, selling envy is the fastest and easiest way to get it. TRR. American conservative. Never trust a white liberal. Malcom X Current NRA member.
When your money comes from a subscriber base, you need to cater to that base.
That means you can't report facts, you report lies to your subscribers, to keep the money train rolling.
So reporting facts doesn't matter.
Bullschit, It's about POWER
Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.
Nobody owns the facts. The facts are, well, the facts.
Now, the spin, that's another matter.
LOL, The Media hasn't dealt in Facts for decades.

Mainstream is all propaganda all the time. When Chinese people visit America they are surprised to see we watch news channels at all. They say no one watches news channels in China because they all know its propaganda. That's how it'll be here soon. I don't even watch fox anymore.

Same here. Fox is as bad as the others. I havent watched any of them for a very long time. Too many other sources to find what is actually going on out there

Most people dont know this because it isnt taught in any schools. Woody Wilson was having americans jailed for disputing the lies his administration was spewing. Yes, right here in the good ole USA!

Thats exactly why they demand to have censorship all across the web. They cant win on facts and the facts pushes their evils asses out from the shadows
I've known this since the 90's and it wasn't much of a secret back then even. The Editor in Chief of the Local rag gave a presentation in a media relations course I was taking. He asked us what the #1 job of the newspaper was. The answers ran the typical gauntlet of reporting the truth and various iterations of that theme. He stunned most of the class by telling us that those were all good, altruistic and naive answers; but they were all wrong. The #1 job of the newspaper is to sell newspapers!
Samuel Clemens told us as much 100 years ago: "If you don't read the paper, you're uninformed. If you do read the paper, you're misinformed"

And if they are successful, it will be about complete control of our everyday lives. You will be eating bugs whether you like it or not.
