I hope this article fits here. If not, a MOD can move it to an appropriate thread. 

FBI Joins CNN, CIA Joins NBC—So Who Has ‘State Media’?

It has always astounded me that everybody seems to accept the outright prejudice that the same media
outlets show. It's obvious from the anti-Trump bias that many of CNN's sources are from such agencies
and in peril -to use a fair term, of being given information to suit a narrative.
Especially, if there's an preferred agenda from such agencies.

I'm not 'in-the-know' as much as Mr. Guohua about such matters and as he indicated in another thread,
these security departments can become disenchanted for various reasons and that doesn't bode well for
a supposedly neutral media company.

The seemingly natural move from the CIA to a television news company turns the whole situation of
ethical reporting into a reality TV show! The major outlets' websites are a mockery in their manner of
keeping up with current events and even give the politically-correct news sites on this side of the
Atlantic a run-for-their-money in the art of banality!

A Presenter is supposed to present untainted news, not discuss their opinions with a fellow journalist
or ex-FBI/CIA/White House employees! The 'bubbled' outcome is obvious and can lead to embittered
parties looking elsewhere for their information.
Places that may or may not adhere to the supposed principles that the mainstream media are believed
to hold dear.

Today'a media on the television has become enjoyable only because it can't be taken seriously and that,
is a terrible indictment. The newspapers are not far-behind them with their 'Thought-Police' mentality.

For myself, it's this from the Viz page!
