Edit: in case you believe I am being just flippant. That’s an illustration of the ”journalism” favoured by scammers.
If Trump sneezes we find out that sneezing is something Hitler did, if Trump stops a war in Gaza we hear how one time Hitler talked about ending wars.
Our dishonest state-owned press is against wars except when Hamas loses, then they think that war may not have been that bad and want to tell us all the good things about war and the bad things about peace.
Biden was senile for years and the press were telling us it's a right-wing conspiracy theory, until the point the Democrat party dropped him because he was senile.
You, uh, you do know this whole idea is right wing propaganda, right? None of that is what actually happened, it's what right wing media says happened.

I don't have actual numbers, but I know how often Biden spoke to the press, and I know it was always scripted on who can ask what.
Trump's DoD just threatened to revoke press credentials of anyone who reported on things they didn't authorize. Also, the other current scandal is one of the people reporting on RFK both slept with him and gave him positive coverage, which is wild.
Trump regularly kicked reporters out of the press pool for saying things he didn't like and then took over deciding who can be in it and who isn't.
It's not really transparency if you make sure to include only people who promise to say what you want them to say, is it?
