Who owns the "free" press again?

  • Read "Monopoly Media Manipulation"
  • Read "Brainwashing"—and since you immediately dismissed my well-sourced and thoroughly explained response to your "death camps in north kora" (lmao) comment with the thought terminating "they're defending north korea so I'm right" cliche, read "Masses, Elites, and Rebels" as well
  • Read Parenti's Inventing Reality
  • Read Chomsky's Manufacturing Consent

"The ideas of the ruling class are in every epoch the ruling ideas, i.e. the class which is the ruling material force of society, is at the same time its ruling intellectual force. The class which has the means of material production at its disposal, has control at the same time over the means of mental production, so that thereby, generally speaking, the ideas of those who lack the means of mental production are subject to it. The ruling ideas are nothing more than the ideal expression of the dominant material relationships, the dominant material relationships grasped as ideas” - Karl Marx

You still haven't explained how America is "learning from their mistakes", or given any proof that they've stopped their imperialist pursuits (much less actually refuted my example of Yemen), haven't apologized for your cowardly defense of the War in Afghanistan (and of course didn't address the examples of horrific atrocities committed by the U.S. which @sunset linked), nor addressed really anything I said on this except for a single comment where you made an idiotic argument about "one party" with no understanding of Afghanistan's political realities (or really anything for that matter). Stop acting smug you awful chauvinist cracker.
