   The more I see on tv during these slow patrols, the more each piece seems engineered to fit a political narrative, or to sell a product, or worse: a lifestyle.
   
   Even educational things, documentaries, hell, especially educational material, will tell only specific parts of stories, or not touch specific things. Are there any bastions remaining of free media? At this point I'm going to guess essentially all major network television is, if not directly engineered, then at least run through some network ideals censor/"contributor"
   
   Thoughts?

   See that's what I don't know. What I was hoping to find opinions or answers on. Surely no small amount is engineered

   About 90%. There's usually a grain of truth in the shit they put out, otherwise it'd be 100%.

   I agree with the OP. In fact so much so that I don't own a TV.

   I have a TV and cable but I never use it, all my shows are going online now anyways. Online is all propaganda too.

   It's all propaganda. Either that, or they air some terrible reality TV programme which corrupts the youth. And for what?

   All media is propaganda. There is no no spin zone.
