  1. The news has had bias and propaganda since the French Revolution / Reign of Terror. In the US, the media grew powerful in the late 1800s, with the examples of Hearst and Pulitzer. In the early 1900s, the federal gov't embraced propaganda and censorship, and first began to limit the right to free speech. Radio and TV, added to newspaper, allowed for more owners and more voices, thus a bit more democracy. This was lost during the Clinton administration, when the decision was made to allow news corporations to consolidate down to just six owners. This policy was advantageous for the Chinese Communist Party, which began to influence the media, in addition to businesses and gov't officials at all levels. China's goal to make the west destroy itself. This goal goes back to the Fifties and Sixties. Originally the USSR was the stronger power, but the CCP rose as the USSR fell. Now China is quietly doing what the USSR couldn't do.
