They're the ones who are spreading disinformation about the war in Ukraine and so many other issues on a scale that dwarfs what any of these handful of podcasters that most people have never heard of can ever hope to accomplish," Sacks said.
DAVID SACKS, ALL-IN PODCAST: I agree with you that the mainstream media is not just biased, it's just like all propaganda all the time.

On the issue of Ukraine, the number one quoted source in the mainstream media is a think tank called the Institute for the Study of War.
The mainstream media, the New York Times, and so on, quotes ISW. If you go look at the citations, it is the single most cited authority by the mainstream media, and they are consistently wrong.
The real influence operation in this country is by the mainstream media.
