There's a tremendous amount of deception going on, with all the OId Media outlets. Part of this stems from the fact that journalists all over the world would be executed if they actually reported the truth, in the countries where they were reporting.
It's a hideous cycle. The first reporting agency that starts reporting the truth will get kicked out (or outright murdered), and it'll be that one amoral agency that doesn't care who is getting gassed or murdered, that gets the "news stories" out of an otherwise closed nation.
Exclusive stories make and break a reporting agency. And if it's a rival getting the exclusives, you're going to go under unless you "compromise".
