I had a commie prof in college who was actually a pretty brilliant guy (though I disagreed with him on a lot). He made us read Noam Chomsky, another commie/near commie. Chomsky developed a theory in the ‘80’s called “The Propaganda Model” where he laid out several of the points this guy made in the video.
You guys should look up the propaganda model. The US mass media makes much more sense when you have that framework for thinking about it. We need more Americans to wake up to it. I seriously thought it was preposterous when I first heard it but I dusted off my Chomsky book from college not long ago and was thinking “holy fucking shit” as I read through it.
It lays out the model and then goes into a few specific examples of the MSM creating “worthy and unworthy victims” and a detailed discussion of “legitimate versus meaningless” elections on the basis of whether US interests were able to rig the election or not. The book is from 1988 and could be rewritten today using modern examples because it’s so on point.
I don’t agree with the guy’s politics, but his model is pretty good at explaining why the mass media is utter shit.
