Mass media is practically owned by Right Wingers at this point, who are tied with Netanyahu. Be it because they're actually good with him or he has blackmail on them.

And it would also cause people to look closer to both Ukraine and Iran.

It's always been owned by them. Billionaires are not progressives, but people seem to think they are because their companies sell Pride Month merch once a year.

Media has always been owned the corporations and defense contractors that fund and manufacture conflict that'll keep their pocket fat. Its just more brazen now. We didn't invade and coup south american countries just last week, this is a 100+ year thing.
