Came to say this. It isnt now. It has been as such for at least the entirety of the industrial revolution, if not always. Any look at CIA and FBI operations alone will show most of media has been bought and controlled by them for decades. Atrocity propaganda from WWI and WWII were used to 'convince' people to go to war for their masters. Dead babies on bayonets, etc. Theres too many lies upon lies for decades to say its only happening 'now'.
