Sometimes simply the "news" matches up because they're all reporting the same facts.
Like weather forecasts... for instance.

Trump has a micro-Ark of the Covenant implanted in his voice box, very irritating sonics to the unbeliever.

What official criticisms of the media have you read? Please provide a few citations. There are plenty of them, and many are valid in one sense or another. So it shouldn’t be that hard.
I may have missed the context of your question, but as you said there's a ton of criticisms about the media. Here Glenn Greenwald (who was right about Russia Gate while every mainstream outlet got it wrong) slams the NY Times and other mainstream sources:
Demanding Silicon Valley Suppress “Hyper-Partisan Sites” in Favor of “Mainstream News” (The NYT) is a Fraud
As you may recall, Greenwald quit the Intercept because they censored an article of his that was critical of Biden. In his own words:
Quote:
The final, precipitating cause is that The Intercept’s editors, in violation of my contractual right of editorial freedom, censored an article I wrote this week, refusing to publish it unless I remove all sections critical of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, the candidate vehemently supported by all New-York-based Intercept editors involved in this effort at suppression.
-------------------- I am in a minority on the shroomery, as I frequently defend the opposing side when they have a point about something or when my side make believes something about them. I also attack my side if I think they're wrong. People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.

The political activist left has proven a Trojan Horse for foreign interests that has been extremely effective at damaging the Western World, possibly leading to its future demise.

Nothing has been as damaging to the image of the USA in the eyes of the world than the Trump presidency, believe me.
The world has been laughing, facepalming and quivering by the sheer awkwardness and then 72 MILLION complete morons vote for a second term.
America is not serious anymore.
After the alt right spraytan pumpkin you elect a grabtastic fossil who can barely string two words together.
You guys are great as an opening act to China as the Greatest World Power.
Your government is yinning down into nothingness.

Remember when a leftist drove all the way to Washington DC to investigate a child sex ring at a pizza restaurant and after shooting the lock off the door to a closet realized he was a complete moron?

Maybe I will get a response from Chop?
Either way, the point is that Chop's criticisms of the media are pretty basic. He's reciting information we have known for at least 40 years because academics published peer reviewed papers saying what he's saying in the 80's. Of course the academics aren't trying to push an agenda like Chop is, and that's where my issue stands. To say that the media's job is to keep you complacent or sell you lies is disingenuous, their job is very clearly to generate profit, nothing more. Of course there are exceptions, and those exceptions should be acknowledged.
Greenwald is on various radio shows from time to time and for the most part I like what he has done. I do think he blends in to activist instead of reporter at times, and that's problematic for his reputation. That said, he's reported some serious shit over the years so maybe he's entitled to that position?

Let's fucking hope so - the whole world would be a lot better off if the US stopped intervening in other nation's affairs, whether it be overtly through direct war/intervention or covertly through color revolutions and false flags and the like.

Comparing the radical right to the radical left is pointless. They're all radicals. For every retarded alt-righter I can find you an insane leftist guilty of stabbing someone, shooting someone, or terrorizing some random politician's family because they had the audacity to say something they didn't like.

Doubtful. Almost all of the 72 million who voted for trump this time around are retarded alt-righters. I don't think you can find 72 million leftists guilty of stabbing someone or terrorizing a random politician's family.
