No, they are all owned by the U.S. government.
I've never seen such horseshit in my life.
During the Iraq war they had reporters "embedded" with the troops? That's straight out of the playbook of every "bad" country we supposedly stand against. Control of the press...
When I was growing up the press QUESTIONED authority at every step. During the Vietnam War the reporters did their job and didn't allow the military to control them.
These days? Reporters don't even investigate or report anything. They just read whatever the White House press secretary gives them.
Can you imagine the press letting the Johnson Administration or Nixon or Clinton or Reagan administrations get away with the shit they let the Bush and Obama admins get away with?
It's a disgrace.
