Ask yourself, why do you continually hear fox news and others say. "You will never hear this on mainstream media"? Well duh! It is because they are making stuff up and are trying to guilt trip responsible media into covering their idiotic culture war agitprop. And of course, it gets right wingers triggered. And a triggered right winger will tune in, vote and also give money.
It's a basic psychological technique. "you won't hear this on MSM" means "this is information only a few people will hear"
It makes the recipient feel special and part of a small group of "knowers", who understand the what's "really going on". Humans like to feel special and feel intelligent so it fulfills two needs that we have.
That's not to say mainstream media is accurate, but beware of anyone continually trying to exploit that to push their own narrative.
