This post reminds me of the video below, where they talk about Sinclair Broadcast scripts:
Pulling strings: Sinclair Broadcast's 'fake news' scandal | The Listening Post [08:03 | APR 10 18 | Al Jazeera English] https://youtu.be/tN9KAFn1hy8
Corporations only share certain news and information with the public; we must not be afraid of being highly critical of those with power and influence, especially legacy media and politicians (government and three-letter agencies), due to most of them pushing owner-class talking points.
By also following journalists that are critical of Al Jazeera, we lower our self made echochambers and bubbles:
I shared these two quotes in a summary of a video post I made: https://lemmy.world/post/17056614

Ah, Ian Duncan.
Oh, I have seen that Sinclair segment as well; I had to rewatch it though; it has been awhile.
Don't forget to be critical of him as well; he mostly sticks to certain talking points, like all late-night shows do: Bill Maher, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, and many more.
Some may push a little; one being, when Jon Stewart went on Stephen Colbert and talked about the Wuhan Lab Leak Theory, there was a good amount of blacklash from the establishment types.
Thanks for sharing!
