Read a few books, or just one, about propaganda and the history of it. Corporate and government propaganda has constantly grown over the last 100 years and it's to the point now where propaganda is 99% of what's on the local and national news in the U.S..

Also, check out RT America and Democracy Now with Amy Goodman for some real news. A person will learn more in 1 day watching them than they would learn watching the MSMedia propaganda for an entire year.
