The press is operating with an agenda...they are not merely reporting.

    ok, but the quote does not address that the medium of reporting as a whole, is nothing more than a closely controlled 4th branch of government, complete with a propagandizing agenda.

    And if there is no news to report, they will make some up.

    The press is owned by its advertisers  watch the commercials to learn who is pulling the strings.  Drugs, credit and power.  It is no accident that the entire world has been turned into a hospital and all of us patients under the 'care' (control) and supervision of 'authorities.'  CNN is the perfect example of the true purpose of mainstream media: propaganda.
