With the recent NYT scandal, what are some other examples of the NYT or similarly "prestigious" news institutions making stuff up or otherwise doing propaganda? (hexbear.net)

Been seeing a lot of libs say they can't trust the NYT and mainstream news any more but I'm sure there's plenty of reasons to not trust them already. Recent or historical examples

There's an episode of The Orville, where the crew see what the political process is for a horribly xenophobic race... and its just AI generated videos of politicians saying and doing things they didn't do....

    I first watched it years ago, years after it started, and was honestly pleasantly surprised.

    I expected "Family Guy" but got a slightly more down to earth Star Trek. It can be a bit wishy-washy with its political/moral messaging at times but most of the time it felt like it was trying to be honest to the characters.

    I liked it enough to watch it a few times over the years and i would recommend it if you dug ST:TNG.
