minus-squareDuamerthrax@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-26 months agoYes. That’s how you bribe news agencies with plausible deniability. It’s so well understood within the industry, that you wont find explicit instructions on any of the contracts. That’s of course when the corporations don’t just outright own the media.
