The controlled opposition often admits things once they realize they can't keep them hidden anymore. If they've been caught hiding things they should have reported, they either downplay the importance of the issue or pretend no one could have known at the time (though millions online might have known for years). They then scramble to re-gain the trust of the audience they betrayed, as they're worthless without a following they can manipulate the next time manipulation is needed.

Is it more likely a powerful network with a globalist agenda would feature and handsomely pay an anchor who opposes their agenda, or one who can gather a patriotic following and lead them off the cliff at key moments, undermining the nationalist agenda?
