General Discussion

– Upton Sinclair, “I, Candidate for Governor, and How I Got Licked" (1934).

Already – for at least a couple of decades – at least 96% of traditional media worldwide has been owned by just 6 megacorporations whose interests do not coincide with yours and mine and who have made a career in the MSM nearly impossible for those trying to report truths inconvenient to TPTB. The internet has by now also suffered considerable consolidation.

This trend vastly accelerated following the Telecom Act of 1996, which repealed restrictions on the consolidation of media ownership.

If you want more reliable news, I recommend picking a few incidents such as the 2003 invasion of Iraq and research which journalists and media organizations were for and against it. Then dump the ones who were proved wrong and follow the ones that were pushed out of the MSM for being right.

(Best to pick events like the 2003 invasion, which happened long enough ago for the truth to have come out.)
