As if, to give one example, the russiagate conspiracy theory never happened and was never breathlessly reported on by the MSM. As if you never heard of Iraq, or Libyan rape rooms, or any of the other lies told to support the wars.

The discussion was about THE MSM’s response to COVID. I’m not here to discuss Iraq, etc. If, by mentioning “all the other lies,” you intended to expand the conversation into a free-ranging Ramble-A-Thon about all the stuff you believe the MSM has lied to you about since 1967, I’ll bow out.
As far as COVID goes, I didn’t see very much outright lying. Sometimes there’s a fine line between delivering the truth and stirring up mass hysteria. Mostly what I saw were journalists getting a lot right, some things wrong.
From my original comment: "Like Renaissance courtiers, the MSM have learned that there are no consequences for being wrong, harmful, damaging or even murderous (Iraq!) but there are consequences for being outside the Serious People Consensus at the moment."

Note the word "Iraq" in my original comment.
You don't think the " journalists " were stirring up mass hysteria? Who do you think did that, then?
Mostly morons like you.
