This cartoon is from late 2008, after the financial meltdown when people were protesting the reflationary package. Already then most medias where under control and journalism was a joke.
In fact the death of independent journalism can be dated precisely to the end of the 1990s when the Internet suddenly starved legacy medias of revenues and they all had to scramble for financing. Most of them did find some financing of course but they had to sell their soul in the process and become the voice of whoever was financing them. This is when the medias became uninterested in "real" scandals and started "promoting" ideas such as "Global Warming", "The Pandemic", "Russia, Russia, Russia" in the US and other entirely made-up stories.
You can easily find videos on YouTube of ALL the medias saying exactly the same thing about a specific subject, word for word, in unison. The effect of propaganda is so uncanny that you wonder why people do not notice. But they do not. 30 years of manipulations have utterly dulled the critical senses of most people who for the most part, in these uncertain times, prefer a comforting lie than be exposed to the raw and naked truth.
