Their purpose is to terrorize people. They turn every class of people against one another. They have been caught manipulating footage, fabricating stories, and successfully sued for the blatant lies they tell.
Consider this:
The guy who drove through the parade was brainwashed by these networks that push racial division.
The people who burned down Dem cities last year are brainwashed by these networks.
At what point do they stop being a "news" organization and become a terrorist recruitment network?
No matter which "news" network you look at (CNN, Fox, etc), they all thrive off of division. The deaths and damage caused by their narrative should be blamed on them.
What you see on TV is also phony. Behind the scenes they know that they are the ones causing division. It's all planned.
