Occam's razor wants you to know that this means the elite have opinions on the same spectrum as the general public

    > major media is usually very nationalistic about U.S.
    > wars
US TV media is recently very nationalistic about U.S. wars; certainly weren't about Vietnam, for example. Accusing the NYT of being pro-Middle-Eastern war is a reach, and NYT is both the most respected newspaper in the US, but also, CRUCIALLY, the news source that is being censored here.
