This post reminds me of the video below, where they talk about Sinclair Broadcast scripts: 

Pulling strings: Sinclair Broadcast's 'fake news' scandal | The Listening Post [08:03 | APR 10 18 | Al Jazeera English] https://youtu.be/tN9KAFn1hy8

Corporations only share certain news and information with the public; we must not be afraid of being highly critical of those with power and influence, especially legacy media and politicians (government and three-letter agencies), due to most of them pushing owner-class talking points.

By also following journalists that are critical of Al Jazeera, we lower our self made echochambers and bubbles: 

Qatar’s Al Jazeera provides valuable reporting from Gaza but spreads lies about Syria, Russia, and Venezuela.

The speaker criticizes Qatar and Western liberalism for hypocritically supporting Palestinians on human rights but failing to support wider resistance against imperialism, stressing the need to shatter this hypocrisy for true liberation in Palestine.

I shared these two quotes in a summary of a video post I made: https://lemmy.world/post/17056614
