Yep. We've essentially never really had a "free, honest press" for the most part. The cabal never could have done what it's done if there was. The movie "Citizen Kane" chronicles William Randolph Hearst buying up all the leading newspapers back around the turn of the 20th century. There were only small pockets of integrity before that time, none after (in the mainstream).

There have always been minuscule journalistic operations sharing one truth or another, but most can't sustain themselves due to suppression, blackouts and heavy propaganda waged against them.

The net-net is; if you're not on "the proper side", you have zero chance of ever making an impact. The cabal nurtures those who support it while simultaneously starving those who attempt to expose it.
