Reddit reviews Media Impact: An Introduction to Mass Media (Wadsworth Series in Mass Communication and Journalism: General Mass Communication)

You need to go to the library and read up on the structure and history of the mainstream news media. I would start with this book, and then move on to this one.

And then rethink how the media works and where whistleblowers fit into all of this. I guarantee your views will change.

See what you are failing to understand, or ignoring is that the mainstream media is a complex topic and saying things like, "it's corporate media, it's there to disperse propaganda and control what Americans think" is to miss so much of what has been written about all aspects of the workings of the media industry.

Sure, the mainstream news media disseminates propaganda. But my guess is that you have a default position whereby quite literally everything is propaganda designed to control what people think, as opposed to informing people on current affairs.
