🎭 “Independent News”? Yeah, Sure… 🎭

Ever wonder why every news station sounds like they’re reading the exact same script?
Spoiler alert: they are.

🧠 Why They All Push the Same Agenda:

1. Because 6 companies own almost everything you watch.
   When Comcast, Disney, Warner Bros., and a few others own hundreds of outlets, they don’t need to control your mind — they just copy-paste the message across the country.
   (Saves time. Pleases lobbyists. Keeps ad dollars flowing.)
2. Because they all live in the same elite media bubble.
   NYC, LA, DC... where everyone went to the same schools, shares the same politics, and thinks “working class” means taking an Uber instead of a Tesla.
   So when they say, “this is what America thinks”, what they really mean is:
   “this is what we talked about at brunch.”
   🧂 But Hey, It’s Totally Not a Conspiracy...
   • Pre-written talking points? ✅
   • Anchors reading word-for-word scripts? ✅
   • News shaped to protect corporate money & politics? ✅
   But sure, they’re just here to “keep you informed.” 😏

    👀 Final Thought
    If it feels like the media is selling you a worldview, not reporting facts...
    It’s probably because they are.
    So maybe it’s time to stop repeating the script —
    And start thinking for yourself. 🧠
    ❓One Last Question:
    Have you ever actually looked up who these people are?
    • Their politics?
    • Their values?
    • What they support with their billions?
    Because if their worldview isn’t yours,
    Why are they the ones telling you what to think?
