worse than their complicity...
...is that the networks, from the execs to the producers to the on-camera readers, don't even think what they've been doing is wrong. they literally do not have an understanding that what they are providing is not independent analysis, but governement propaganda.
and they'd be shocked to learn that such dissemination of propaganda is not their role, that it is professional negligence and that it has an unhealthy effect on policy and the national discourse.
indeed, unless they are puffing up their own importance, media folks reflexively step away from the idea that what they report has any consequence or affects their audience at all.
