> So, how can all media outlets, newspapers and television stations be in it together?

"Together"?

This is a misconception. There doesn't necessarily need to be a proper and organized conspiracy per se. They simply need a common goal or at least a common direction. What might look like conspiracy is simply a limited number of ways to achieve the goal / direction.

For example, this same phenomenon happens in nature as well.

The point is, to dismiss the media's corruption as "conspiracy theory" is to deny the existence of emergence.

That's the classic Chomsky model.

What I've seen the last few years is actually way stripped down and optimized for quick consumption. Basically:

1. Pick a contemporary topic.

2. Pick the 2 major opinions on said topic. If only 1 exists currently create the 2nd one.

3. Start forming 2 distinct audiences.

4. Hypnotize first one with quick proved methods of social engineering.

5. Hypnotize second one with quick proved methods of social engineering.

6. Let them fight it out and make the big bucks off the war you just created.

It's basically virtual gladiator fights with often real life consequences.

I wrote an article on the propaganda model of media first put forward by Chomsky and Herman’s Manufacturing Consent. Our media is owned by a specific few with their own intentions in mind, I’d love to hear your thoughts!
