@vortex_egg Read Hamilton Holt's 1909 lecture, Commercialism and Journalism. Which confirms your statement with ample evidence.

Quoting (anonymously) John Swinton's 1880 comment:

There is no such thing in America as an independent press. I am paid for keeping honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. If I should allow honest opinions to be printed in one issue of my paper, before twenty-four hours my occupation, like Othello's, would be gone. The business of a New York journalist is to distort the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at th eroot of Mammon, and to sell his own country and his race for his daily bread. We are the tools or vassals of the rich men behind the scenes. Our time, our talents, our lives, our possibilities, are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes.

-- John Swinton, 1880
