And the networks don’t even pretend it either. Even worse, they actively work to encourage censorship.

From a pre-packaged take on world events, the news media now participates in a fact checking process designed to tell you what’s true and what’s not, rather than present the facts and let you sort it out.

From Black Lives Matter, to Covid-19, Joe Biden and Big Tech censorship, Attkisson tackles the biggest topics of the day and interviews personalities and executives across numerous networks, all to show how the news is being controlled.

An Orwellian nightmare come true, she exposes how fake narratives, subtle lies and overt propaganda have combined to destroy journalism.
