While I’m here, a look up the Behind the Bastards two-parter on How The Liberal Media Helped Fascism Win which compares the German (often Jewish-owned) newspapers in the 1930s to US news agencies in the 21st century.

I’ll let you have a guess what their stance on slavery was. They always have punched left.
