Donald Trump's wall was racist, white supremacist, we were assured by the corporate media.

At this website, I categorize examples like this with the category "Narratives in Media." I have collected hundreds of them over the past three years.
This is abhorrent. A national embarrassment. Having news media that is not adversarial to the ruling political elite is like having plumbers who prefer leaky pipes. There is nothing more fundamental for a news reporter than to be skeptical and curious. The best reporters in years past were relentlessly driven forward by the idea that powerful people constantly lie for their own personal gain.
Coleman Hughes discusses his mistreatment by TED with Glenn Greenwald on System Update. Also discussed, TED's betrayal of its stated principles. It's clear that modern day TED would have done the same with Martin Luther King, given that Coleman's talk was in favor of color-blindness.

In a tyrannical dictatorship, the press is operated by employees of the government. In a Free Democracy™️, the press is operated by employees of the oligarchs who operate the government. In both cases you’re getting state propaganda, but in one of them the propaganda is disguised as objective news reporting.
The pathetic New York Times didn't need any evidence to render its verdict.
Trevor Bauer tells his story after more than two years of silence:
I would propose these rules: Don't believe the man. Don't believe the woman. Always wait for the evidence ad believe the evidence. How did society ever get away from a focus on due process?
After Bauer's video was released, his accuser, Lindsey Hill, doesn't do herself any favors with her "explanatory" commentary.
