The entire US (and UK) media was already like this during the Iraq invasion. What frightens me is that they've extended that complete propagandistic control to their continental European allies / hostages. I'm used to our press being imperialist, liberal wankers, but i have never seen anything as ferociously jingoist and warmongering from them ever before. Isolated instances, yes, there's always been a share of natsec ghouls writing commentaries dripping with chauvinist expansionism, but such a united front of journos banging the war drum? Germany hasn't seen that since the 1940s. There was always some room for dissent, even if it was ignored by policymakers. That's not allowed anymore, nuance is marked as treason, pacifism is labeled as aiding a hitleresque enemy.
