Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media
They very explicitly and purposefully do not. This is a cornerstone of American domestic power. You cloud the news media with "Crime Wave" hysterics and neoliberal economic truisms, then strategically squelch or discredit any opposition views, from Dan Rather to Steven Colbert.
This is in large part thanks to a massive consolidation of media ownership over the last forty years, particularly via capture by Big Tech parent companies.
If "they know", who told them?
You know who else says this? Every other American lmao
You're a strong data point, I'll concede that much.
