Media Corruption


Probably every conflict is fought on at least two grounds: The battlefield and the minds of the people via propaganda. The good guys and the bad guys can often both be guilty of misleading their people with distortions, exaggerations, subjectivity, inaccuracy, and even fabrications, in order to receive their support. While we can often see obvious propaganda from other countries, especially from enemies, we sometimes don't notice, or acknowledge propaganda in out own nations and from our own friendly nations.
Media manipulation often involves government or corporate propaganda and spin. Sometimes organizations and governments can feed fake news or politically or ideologically slanted stories to broadcasters which depict them as quality news items and journalism.
