The MSM is pretty much a criminal enterprise covering for governments. We've seen it with Gamestop, Syria, Ukraine, Russiagate and many other topics.
Their main job now seems to be to put the fear of god into people as the Church used to do and forcing a certain morality and narrative to take hold.
The real stories are made by the documentary makers who work outside the 24/7 news media. One such example is the disaster of NATO's mission in Afghanistan.
CNN sure as shit hasn't put up a countdown clock of: "Why the fuck are we still there after 19 years?"
