#TheOligarchy

"Journalists" all come from the richest families (because it's a job anyone can do, don't even need to be literate since the invention of radio).  The Oligarchy rewards them richly if they act as megaphones for Oligarchy lies.

Those at the lower levels of "journalism" know to toe the party line if they want the cushy job with the big bucks.  The state-funded Fascist corporation BBC (The Ministry of Truth) is THE Oligarchy gig par excellence.
