Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.
If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.
Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.
Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.
Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.
Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

It isn’t a conspiracy. Rich people have been doing crazy evil shit and keeping it out of the news since there have been rich people. They have always owned the news which is why consistent narratives didn’t start breaking down until the dawn of widespread internet use.
Perfect example: Look into the Vegas mass shooting.
what you are describing is a conspiracy.
It's wild how the way the word "conspiracy" got devalued from being "there is a criminal agreement to do crimes happening behind closed doors" to sit alongside "yall heard the aliens working with bigfoot to sap and impurify your precious bodily fluids for Ivan?" was a literal conspiracy by the CIA to boost crank shit in the counterculture and delegitimize any talk of the actual crimes the feds were actually, more or less openly, doing.
I don't know about the vegas shooting as it relates to rich people doing crazy evil shit and suppressing it from the news. Can you say more and/or point me to resources pls? Thanks
Flesh Sim did a pretty good series on it. Here’s a rip of it so no money goes to nazi, pedophile, professional victim Sam Hyde. No idea wtf he was thinking with that colab. (https://archive.org/details/fleshsim-flesh-sim-contact-for-information-)
I don't think that incident was particularly suppressed from the news, but maybe it was suppressed so well that there are important parts I didn't hear about :(.
