Yeah the media is incentivized to maintain the status quo, they’d rather tell the truth, but they’ll lie to themselves and you rather than make the both of you think.

If that explained it, all capitalist run media would be lying. But they are clearly not all lying.

It’s more about who’s running it what their goals are. Communist media is widely known for being filled with propaganda and lies, after all.

Capitalist propaganda is so good you don’t even realize it’s almost all lies.

Advertisements are weaponized lying, nearly every capitalist run media is supported by advertisements.
