The Crisis Loop - The most effective form of state media is the manufactured crisis. The government creates a problem, the networks sell the fear, and then the politicians offer a solution that coincidentally involves you giving up more of your money and your freedom. They aren't saving you. They are just selling you your own shackles.

Propaganda doesn’t always look like a military parade or a grainy black-and-white film. In the modern age, it looks like a “fact check” funded by the people it’s supposed to be checking. When the state and the media share the same script, journalism is dead and marketing has taken its place.
