Further, youre the one that brought up the DSS as a way to validate that Christian thought has remained unchanged.
I should have been more clear here. The DSS validates the accurate transmission of OT through the centuries, which in turn validates a substantial portion of Christian thought as Christianity considers the OT to be divinely inspired. “The DSS doesn’t have anything to do with NT canon” is what I should have said.
Assuming that CNN is the RCC in your analogy, said analogy is highly flawed.
CNN has their own narrative and their own articles, but Fox (Eastern Orthodox Church) had their own writings (Byzantine Greek Texts), and these were never touched by CNN. Fox didn’t restrict access to their writings like CNN did, and eventually some of CNN’s staff caught onto the differences (Erasmus) and others found discrepancies even between CNN’s own material (Luther). They defected (Reformation) and made their own text (TR) based off Fox’s uncorrupted info.
The RCC never had a complete monopoly on all translations of Scripture. Their lies were found out; that’s why denominations other than the RCC exist.
