Oh God, spare meMan if you believe that Putin is in league with the Right and that the MSM doesn't cook up false narratives I'm sorry for you.
I already stated my views.
Seems you are using this "mainstream media" thing as a crutch to prop yourself up as more knowledgeable and insightful as others. That everyone else is caught up being fed wrong info and only you are the one that can see things how they really are.
I simply think your argument is weak.
Not because of the mainstream media. It is because of observable reality.
I understand they may have a few similar objectives and end goals but it's portrayed in the media as they move in concert and work together. That is a hell of a pysch job and a lot of people fall for it.
Dude they only US "Mainstream media" I routinely watch is PBS Newshour.
Most of my knowledge on the matter is from reading foreign policy papers, the Economists, books, and listening to foreign policy experts on podcast and recorded lectures.
It is well established that Putin favors Trump. It is well established they tried to interfere with US elections to help Trump.
Someone doesn't need to watching CNN all day to know.
I some ways, the mainstream media downplays how much Putin favors Trump because they frame the Russia thing as just a partisan attack.
