For decades, big business has worked to buy the news media, to control what you hear, to control how the ‘news’ is presented, and how often you hear the version of events they want you to accept. I first began to recognize this years ago when the local newspapers or television stations would start an investigative news story on a business, only to be told by the corporation or other business that they would no longer advertise on that television station or in that newspaper, if the story was published. Now, If you follow the money, you will see which corporate conglomerates own your local and national news agencies. The news you hear is exactly what big business wants you to hear.
