Media is delivered by people. People have slants. People have become less disciplined about being aware of those slants. Hence, of course "the media" spins everything.
However, it's spun by individuals. Not some centralized secret power controlling thousands of people, none of whom have spelled out the actual scheme.
They really should teach Occam's Razor more rigorously in school.

Well I am not one of his boner boys.......I see the slant on the media. What makes it fake 99% of the time is that they only tell you what you want to hear
1. You are one of his boner boys.
2. That's not how you use an ellipsis. It's also not what it looks like.
3. It tells who what who wants to hear? Do you honestly think the 325 million people in the US all want to hear the same thing? If not, how would it tell the proverbial "you" what you want to hear?
1. The way the news is reported (all the way down to the words they use or not use i.e. the use of the word "undocumented" instead of the word "illegal") is dictated and determined by the bosses in charge. Not the person reporting the news.
2. The media doesnt care about context clues, they are planning on people being blind sheep and taken everything verbatim.
3. Yea I think they are that dumb that they think the way we hear their news should be taken as 100% accurate.
