News reports reflex a subjective point of view. Virtually anything reported has the observer's implicit biases. That is especially evident in network news.
That is why all news is to a certain extent fake news and propaganda. NPR is very much a propaganda agency for whomever. Media people seem in some levels to be chasers of money and power enjoying reporting profits more than loss and that reflects their desire to sit at the tables of the most wealthy and powerful people.
News agencies can recurrently focus on particular themes and narratives to the neglect of others that are important. Almost anyone can report new things today via the Internet or their own phone. Some would make news reporting exclusive while others would manufacture truly fake, fiction news with fiction video characters manufactured with sophisticated programming.
Then some people such as Alex Jones who actually represented solid politically valid dissident points of view were deleted from social media accounts. That seemed like corporate censorship and political repression. Jones did have some content that was far more to the National Enquirer side of things, however that wasn't the bulk of his content. Many people actually like the National Enquirer and stories about Elvis colluding with the aliens to run for the White House in 2020. News should not be repressed because it is entertainment and tongue in cheek. Instead news truth value ratings stars should appear from some objective source that would help watchers know how real or biased something is, and if it is propaganda or not. In some respects fake news is more fun to watch than the real thing when it comes to politics.
