What I can say is that for thousands of years those in power wanted to write the history to say what they wanted it to say. The fact that we have been able to get a relatively accurate picture of history proves that the truth cannot be covered up with darkness.
History has shown us various leaders manipulating the press like Hitler did. Doesn't mean real journalists weren't out there. The real journalists are not motivated by money, but have a sense of mission, perhaps because of some corrupt leaders influence on their own family. That is how things work, the corrupt leaders get power through lies and abusive practices. But those they abuse have children who then feel a divine commission to expose the lies and corruption.
Until the US constitution is rewritten, taking away "freedom of speech" I don't believe you can hide the truth by doing "purges" of the major news outlets.
