The MSM is run by 6 multinational corporations, all are conservative, they control the narrative.
Even saying that MSNBC is liberal isn't exactly true.
In 2003 when Phil Donahue was putting out anti-war broadcasts, he got canned. NBC was run by GE and Microsoft at that time and they stood to profit from the war.
More recently when MSNBC newscasters start telling the truth and stray from the narrative look what happened; Keith Olbermann, Dylan Ratigan, Cenk Uygar.
No, the biggest lie out there is that the MSM is liberal, it enables the lies.
