I'm not sure of the story of I'm honest.

I thought you meant the protests?
The protest were because the left news pushed the fake narrative that brown had his hands up and a cop murdered him. They knew the reality was that he charged the cop and was shot.

I can't understand that. What would they have to gain? You think every news outlet got together and said this is the plan?

I'm still not aware of the story. Have you got a link to the original story?

The story is the media reported on what was claimed by an eyewitness and repeated by activists at the time. A year later, the DOJ investigated and found Brown's hands likely weren't up. Most major media outlets also extensively reported on this, though conservative media reported on it with much more vigour.

Don’t even know where to start with original story. Here’s a solid breakdown of media failure on the subject. I don’t know this source best breakdown I could find

There's no upper or lower number.

I asked for a narrative. A plan. A clear case of propaganda not mistakes. Or worse a rogue reporter manipulating a story for their own nefarious ends.

good examples are Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdoch.

I can demonstrate to you how they lie to how they broadcast or print partizan and political propaganda.

I've not seen CNN doing that on the regular. I'm happy to be proved wrong.
Outright popaganda isn't really what raises people's hackles in the US. It has more to do with framing, priming and agenda setting and the team sports nature of politics and partisan news here.

right now it is. but it should be broken up and designated a public utility imo
I strongly disagree
Facebook especially has been non private from the start...Govt designed Lifelog shuts down Facebook opens up shortly after

It has always been a data gathering and propaganda tool since day 1

I think zuck is just a face and a story.
hes a year older than me. and at first, only people with college emails could register

so i saw it grow from around 2001 to 2010 when i got off it

the evolution from what it was to what became seemed organic to me

why would they choose a random college kid to be the face of it instead of a political insider?

I will speculate with you...

random college kid is a much better story
seems more organic and trustworthy
