To summarise the above:
In the UK TV media organisations are required to fairly report both Class 1 and Class 2 above.
In the USA currently Class 2 reporting has moved from balanced news into propaganda-driven presentations. Arguably (?) some of the Class 1 items may be being distorted and skewed too, as this necessitates
accurate reporting of the 'other side's' position without distortion, spin or value judgement.
Once Class 1 'facts' are
routinely distorted we are into Goebbels territory and it is time to be worried.
