>That sounds like a prognosis for a bygone era. There is nothing "uniform" about the news provided by MSNBC and OANN. Though I imagine that what we have now is not the kind of diversity of thought that Chomsky was hoping for.

I've never heard of OANN until like yesterday. So I'm very curious where it's coming from. Wiki suggests it has been around for 7 years but I'm guessing it gets no views. Chomsky is not referring to some tiny venue.

He's talking about PBS, NPR, Fox, msnbc, News corp, ATT, time, CBS, and Disney.

They are virtually all the same. The beauty of capitalism is when something like this happens, if you can provide a new product that isn't what everyone else is providing. You can crush the competition. Hence why suddenly OANN is a thing? Though I'm looking at their wikipedia and apparently all they do is report on 'conspiracy theories'.

Which makes sense to me. Anyone outside the unification will be attacked as such.

You should probably look for yourself rather than rely on Wikipedia to make your assessment. Newsmax is the other one I have been hearing about lately. They both do appear to be buying into the president’s election fraud story, if that’s what you are looking for.

I'm not American. I really don't need any of these. I do understand the extreme bias Wikipedia has shifted toward. It's not that I can believe in Wikipedia's stance on this OAN but rather I see is that they do have a clearly biased page against OAN. Their attack on them may be correct but it shows the attack.

Every election has fraud. What's important is to be completely transparent about the entire process. Admit the truth and show how much fraud there was, that people were charged, and if the results are skewed. In a place like IOWA or California, there's no big concern to worry about fraud. The win will be 1 sided.

In a place like Michigan where it doesn't smell right. The importance of transparency is tantamount to the process. What did they do? They threw out watchers and cardboarded the windows. That's literally the opposite of transparency.

Ultimately at the end of the day. Trump is done, but trust by the republicans in the election system has been eroded. Having MSNBC repeat that there was NO FRAUD isn't proving anything.

The political divide in the USA was virtually all Democrat sided. This has increased the political divide by moving the Republicans.

OANN and Newsmax should become part of your vocabulary. They are growing rapidly and they are absolutely nothing like the companies you listed. Millions of people consider them gospel.
