US news outlets such as CNN get their news through various sources, including their own journalists and reporters, news agencies, agencies and government, public and private institutions, citizens and witnesses, etc. They also practice their own fact-checking and verification procedures to ensure that the news is "accurate and reliable".
American news outlets such as CNN often collaborate with various news agencies, such as the Associated Press (AP), Reuters, and Agence France-Presse (AFP), to obtain news stories and information. These news agencies collect and distribute news from different parts of the world. The owners of the following news agencies are:
Associated Press (AP): AP is a cooperative organization owned by its members, which consists of 1,400 daily newspapers and 5,000 radio and television stations around the world.
Reuters: Reuters is a subsidiary of Thomson Reuters, a multinational media company based in Toronto, Canada.
Agence France-Presse (AFP): AFP is a state-owned company with an established base in France. It is funded by the French government and revenue from selling news stories to clients around the world.
So of those 3 news givers.... 1 is a state company and 1 is a commercial company.
And then you have the various media companies that make a selection and can manipulate an opinion, just look at fox and cnn. (News Corp - WarnerMedia) I'm not saying the government always lies but there are so many ways to manipulate the news.
