Introduction
The mainstream media is fake news and I'm going to use a selection of screenshots to illustrate this for my readers.
In hindsight, it's easy to identify weaponisation of global media broadcasting & publishing during the 2016 American Election season. We were flooded with a constant stream of nutritionless, infantile, puerile trash and I felt insulted after a week of it.
Still it continued - there was some kind of audience consuming this painstream media trash (I think?) - and it continues on today.
You were being insulted: intelligence degraded on a worldwide scale starting around 2015 and it's likely you've wondered how such a feverpitch of bullshit can continue into 2023...
Don't let yourself be insulted, think about how to starve this beast instead. Maybe the below archived articles can help you discover that none of the headlines were likely real anyway.. and certainly none of the headlines seem to have affected 2020-2023 at all.
Think a little bit on who and how some got duped. Would love to hear your theories in the comments, thanx!

Observations
- It was surprisingly easy to find these mainstream media articles by searching the exact headline. The article I was after was usually the top result
- There was minimal editing, rewording and no removal of any of these articles which also surprised me. Some of the headlines (and probably the body of the article text, if one cared to read it) were embarrassingly puerile and at times, simply incorrect.
- The sheer scale of bombardment of global audiences during the American 2016 Presidential Election was unparalleled for its time. By usage of phrase-ology engineered headlines piped out and amplified through vast, shadowy mainstream media / government / commercial fronts, a global egregore was engineered then steered through intended milestones for big data analytics & perception management goals.
- This still appeared to not be enough for the ultimate goal of Donald J Trump being successfully voted in as the 43rd President of the United States of America
- The co-ordination between article headlines and the time of publication of news articles makes apparent that there's a hierarchy of information & narrative flow with a controlled source.
Conclusion
This article was quite a mind numbing exercise to complete - although I did get a few chuckles from how brazen & stupid some of the headlines were - I asked myself, who the fuck could honestly believe this shit? Or be enticed to?
Multiple headlines about steak eating habits published from 'the left' side of mainstream news is frankly insulting to any capacity for remembering it. I'd rather forget... but that could be a point to further explore. It is insulting to see how global online audiences can be uh - catered? - for with such repugnant low-quality and obviously untrustworthy 'news.'
Yet it leaves me pondering on a question unanswered... Did those ('the left?') who readily consumed painstream media slop like all those archived above forget about the insultingly lowbrow headlines that were intended for them? It is likely they did and I make that assumption on a premise that there's not really any 'right wing / alt-right' equivalent article comparing published headlines from trash right wing painstream news.
There's no equivalent of right wing news proving itself to be as fake and untrustworthy - Why is that? And how could that be possible? Has any well-funded, think-tank bolstered and government/ military/ agency riddled NGO or charity done the same?
Not that I know of: what they do pursue instead as an example of academic onanism is the tarring and feathering of all that 'is not mainstream news.' I can see today a fetishistic zeal of my fellow human beings as they continue trying to keep their head above water as a cascade of toxic dump waste is poured onto them.
They think it's a waterfall at present but they think this without any conscious thought. You can't swim up waterfalls anyway, unless you are a robot.
