I call it state sponsored propaganda often as well.
Legacy media might be the best word. nostr:npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs was calling them ‘corporate’ media, which is better than mainstream obviously, but might inadvertently give capitalism a bad name… I also like how legacy is temporal and shows how these entities are already part of the past. Yup legacy media it is!

I didn’t even know they did this. I don’t pay attention to it. Why does anyone care?
Would you watch if they attempted more “truths”?
Nope. So who gives a fuck? 
Fake News gets to the point and is accurate
Propaganda ✅
State sponsored: I’m sure in multitudes of ways…I might need to look into this more ❓🤨
Hits harder than legacy media ✅
state sponsored propaganda > legacy media > corporate media > mainstream media
🤔 I’m also going to swap out ‘government’ for ‘state’ going forward
