Wow almost as if privately owned free press has different effects compared to state-owned media which will net a trip to the gulag if you publish something you shouldn't

I'm not a big fan of the Chinese or Russian state media, but our American corpo media is more or less a part of the Pentagon apparatus. In principle the news organizations are privately owned, but media executives and journalists have tons of state ties. Half of CNN's current anchors are either some form of fed, or are from wallstreet. Not too different at NBC or Fox.

Privately owned by the same corporations who privately own the government.

Honestly Russia or China would kill to have this level of brainwashing that these Western countries have, where the victim is not even aware he's the victim. At least people in Russia or China know they're being lied to but don't have a choice in the matter.

Scientific publishing ultimately gets all it's revenue from government funded research grants.

Only if they publish what the government wants to see, if they don't then they get branded as a "crackpot" journal and nobody will hand over their government grant money to them anymore
