If only media weren't a huge part of the problem.

Are they though? Do people even believe in them anymore?

I doubt that most are willing to comprehend how much damage is being willingly done by entities who have cornered the market of information and ideas and are using their ability to manipulate how the masses see the world in order to push an agenda.

I do understand that...

But they played that card so much, they lost a lot of revelance.

For me and a lot of people, watching news is actually entertainment to see how they spin things. Like the Waffen SS thing. I can't be the only one who had a lot of laughs seeing the leftwing journos that called trump supporters nazis defending actual nazis.

So I disagree with your whole "manipulate the masses" thing. They still do manipulate the masses, but it's a minuscule amount if compared to previous eras.

I'm seeing quite a few European folx saying how shocked they were at the difference between what their MSM was reporting and the SM being put out by Hamas.

I don't know what it's like in the US but over here the media seems to have a very pro peace and (awkwardly) pro Palestine bias and these attacks are showing that up massively. In the UK we've even had a few experts on saying these attacks are Israel's fault.
