Corporate owned media propagandist for the 1%.
Or the megawealthy appologist for the megawealthy
Maybe we should call them oligarch media.

Or just straight up liars and crooks that shape public opinion to support criminal actions undertaken by our Government and the megawealthy. Like the Iraq war for example.

Or maybe we should call them the fear monger media that pushes stereotypes and fears to cause division confusion and brainwashing of the populous.
