Who do you think owned the presses? Major media has never been for the people. Jews were using print media to stoke the fires in the US as early as the 19th century. There have been courageous journalists, but journalism has been fucked from the start. It turns out whenever you trust large, centralized groups to handle an essential task for yourself and others, they tend to fuck you. The internet is neither all-good nor all-bad, but one thing is for sure; there has never been a time in human history when the average person had a greater potential to gather critical evidence concerning broadcast claims. Consider that it was citizen journalism, at least early on, that blew the top clean off the Ukraine nonsense. We caught it through Twitter; that information was of extreme value to you, and it was extremely damaging to the mainstream media narrative.
Honestly, once you clue in to how mainstream media works, it becomes extremely informative too: you can figure out a lot about what's going on in the world by assuming the opposite of what the t.v. says. "X is terrifying and Y will save you," means: Y is terrifying and X either doesn't exist or is radically misapprehended.
