Mass Media Manipulation

"Is it true that we are being manipulated by the mass media? And if so, who manipulates them?"

Conspiracy theorists believe that a secret elite controls the ‘mainstream’ media and uses it to shape public opinion. And that they also employ bots and algorithms on social media to stir up animosity among people and manipulate elections. Their ultimate goal? To divide and weaken society to the point where it can no longer resist. At that moment, they would introduce the New World Order – an open dictatorship under the rule of the elites.
History, however, has shown that society cannot be molded like clay at will – not even with massive propaganda and fake news. A glimmer of hope?
