There is no free press in the West. They talk about free press a lot but is there really a free press?
U.S government and her people criticize foreign countries about their lack of free press.
News media from ABC to CNN to FOX to Huffington Post to DailyBeast to XYZ to even sites like Reddit, are owned by the rich people or people who are just allies of either of the two major parties.
These rich people are allied with either the Left-wing or the Right-Wing political spectrum but most of them ally with the Left-wing.
They have close connections with either of the parties and key politicians and they have lobbyists and friends who are rich and connected.
Each of them have their own candidates they support and they take things out of context and purposefully do a propaganda war on each other.
When the left-wing news media calls Fox news as Faux News, the left-wingers are jubilant and repeat the same thing on the web but being oblivious to the fact that their own news media is totally FAUX too.
They don't report the news any more. They even write you an opinion about the news stories without letting you think for yourself.
They even do comedy and some call themselves the Comedy Central and there are late night shows and such, but people fail to realize, those channels are owned by these people too and the guy cracking the jokes is just a piper playing the tune for the guy who pays him/her.
Even sites like MTV or CNET or other tech sites, if you observe them over a period of time, roll out politically laced news stories once a while. MTV seems to be not reporting about music much anymore.
They are all trying to control 'information' because just like data is important to Google, 'information' is important to people in power and their pet news dogs.
The difference between the so-called government state sponsored news media in North Korea and the news media in the U.S is that, the later has a CEO and an image of being independent from the government but they all secretly work together for their respective parties and respective candidates.
It is all about getting the voter to vote one way or the other.
Now for years, they all announce their favourite candidate and least favourite candidate, days or weeks or months before the election as well and pick one for you without you picking one for yourself. They rarely let you think for yourself.
They are just dividing the people and pitting people against each other.
It just look like rooster chicken fight of the rich trying to play a game to see whose guy wins the game this time around.
