Headline: "Director"
Article: "one step down from director" (unverified)
They speculated about Trump's health? Wow, what a smoking gun. Who here hasn't tried to speculate about Trump or Biden being unfit?
Of course, they are a propaganda machine. Of course, they were out to get Trump. Of course, Fox News is out to get Biden. Of course, OAN is out to get Biden. They all deal in propaganda. The fact that this guy admitted to an agenda shouldn't inform us.
Odd though that MSN would be touting it though, they were just as badHeadline: "Director"

Bingo. There is not a doubt in my mind that this happens at the vast majority of news outlets, especially the ones with editorialized infotainment content like CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, OAN, etc.Headline: "Director"

“The role of the corporate press isn't merely to train the population as to what to think. It is there to train them regarding what to think about--or what not to think about.”Bingo.

After talking to some people more informed than I about the media industry, you are right on the money. I'm sure each corp has their own slants/biases, but their main objective is to get people to read the articles. That goal far outweighs propagating their views.They want $ and thus wrote a click-baity title. They all want $.
In fact, I'm not convinced the bosses at CNN actually wanted Trump to lose. They probably made $ the best with him. Trump losing seems like an unfortunate byproduct of doing what makes them the most $....opposing Trump.
