To actually answer the question:
Because most of the old media functionally has the CIA as an editorial board.
Immensely ironically, we know a lot about that because of Noam Chomsky.
Who... is also in the Epstein files.
Quite a lot.
Yeah, it wasn't just the right wing of the country that has been existing in a constructed media hyperreality, it has also been the left wing of the country.
I wouldn't describe Noam as left wing, he's advocating for Ukraine's unilateral surrender rn. He's just Red Fascist.
Oh dear, I was unaware of that.
Oi...
Still though, he was a pillar of the left wing, in the sense of left wing = not conservative, a literal seminal figure of it, for decades.
For bonus points, he's also a Bosnian genocide denialist
I used to think maybe he was okay but clearly he has always just been a well regarded Tankie fuck.
If someone agrees with most left wing positions except one, are they left wing?
I think you're doing a No True Scotsman here. Just because Noam fell for the anti-Ukrainian propaganda doesn't mean he's not left wing.
All of Noam's left wing stances are just criticisms of states he disagrees with, it appears. He is in fact supporting right wingers from a different side of the planet.
Everyone has blind spots for frames of reference they aren't familiar with.
Limited hangout.
Which questions are not asked because Chomsky already gave many answers.
A better example would be Reid Hoffman and Laurence Summors. Both in Epstein Files, and massive impacts on Democratic party.
What does Chomsky knowing Epstein have to do with anything?
They kind of just explained that... Chomsky is famous for writing about manufacturing consent, which is exactly what the media is doing here.
Yeah, thank you.
Chomsky functionally was the primary whistleblower on how the media in the US gets routinely manipulated by intelligence agencies...
... and its now pretty clear that he got folded in, to being part of that the system that does that.
