Omitted news is a form of propaganda. This includes both a lack of reporting, as well as active censorship. We can recognize this in non-Western countries like China, with their great firewall. But Americans are just as propagandized, we just don't really know it. If you primarily consume news from the corporate media-controlled outlets, you are only getting a small snipet of the news going on around the world. You can test this by varying your news from several different independent outlets. You will see a huge difference. By determining the news that's getting filtered out, and contrasting that with what is being pushed, you can start to work out the agendas that are being pushed by the powers in control.

Fortunately, we don't have a great firewall forced upon on us (yet), so doing this is still possible. What they bank on is that most Americans will continue to not look further. However, with their corporate-controlled ratings dropping off a cliff, they are quickly losing control of the narrative. I suspect that an authoritarian crackdown is coming soon as they get desperate from their loss of control.
