I was once in the army.
Now that I work in the private sector, I must still work for the army........
Look, I'm not a CNN fan or anything, but so much of that crap is just an collection of loosely associated facts and a LOT of conjecture, hyperbole, and unfounded accusations.

Reuters was previously owned by the Rothschild banking family. They sold Reuters to the Thompson family in 2008. The new company is called Thompson-Reuters. The Thompson family owns a majority of shares at 53%. Historically, no single individual has been permitted to own more than 15% of Reuters, under the first of the Reuters Principles, which states, “Reuters shall at no time pass into the hands of any one interest, group or faction.”
However, that restriction was waived for the purchase by the Thomson family. Pehr Gyllenhammar, chairman of the Reuters Founders Share Company, explained that the Reuters Trust’s First Principle had been waived for the Thomson family because of the poor financial circumstances that Reuters had been in, stating, “The future of Reuters takes precedence over the principles

You have to admit that the MSM, all MSM has been wildly successful in it's manipulation.
It may have started with CNN, but I'm sure they've branched out.
If they were successful Trump would not be president.
Not exactly. They ultimately lost the fight with the election but their blueprint to divide this country and cause civil unrest is alive and well and still about half the country can't see thru it.
Liberals are getting played like a drum.

Since the inception of TV News, there has been a gradual consolidation of control by the big six.

But this stands to reason - it's human nature.
If you're not taking control then you are relinquishing control.
A perfect equilibrium of trust would be great, but in the real universe things are always changing; growing, shrinking, or exploding. Nothing stays the same and i think that also applies to socio-cultural phenomena.
I'm not defending CNN, just saying that this cynical behaviour is (sadly, perhaps) natural.
