The media machine has gone all in on supporting Kamala Harris, and it is nauseating. Even Biden’s campaign wasn’t nearly as astroturfed as this. I feel like I am watching the Hillary campaign on the steroids, and the Trump Assassination attempt is being treated like it never happened. This is the some of the most intense and terrifying propaganda campaigns the media has ever pulled off.

I don't think the state is controlling the media, so much as they're just in bed together.
I mean that's sorta of to-ma-toe vs to-ma-ta don't you think?
Controlling implies that the dnc controls the media, while I think they're really the same, and there's no real control, just a hive mind of npcs
Well we know Operation Mockingbird is a thing. We know the majority of sources for news is a state actor, be it federal, state, or local. The government controls NPR and PBS stations. I will say the majority of the media is liberal and would support big government without the financial benefit, but the media certainly enjoys those benefits
We shouldn't underestimate the power they have at local levels. I never dreamed that drag queen pedophiles would be tolerated in a small town until I read the story that one of them did a story hour in rural Texas.
The journalists were always left-leaning scum, but the bias went off the charts once Hillary and establishment-affiliated organizations such as Media Matters started setting up shop. The establishment (particularly DNC politicians) works very closely with these news organizations. Don’t underestimate how much control the establishment has over the media machine and the social media machines, because the government has been meeting with these companies to demand information to be censored.
Reporters in mass media were about 1/4th conservative in 2015. Now they are under 4% - including Fox News, Breitbart, etc.
Know people who say they're informed because they get news from WaPo, The Atlantic, NPR/PBS, Rolling Stone, the nightly news, etc and I try to tell them that all those are the same now.
They're getting their news from one source.
