It's funny to hear people talk about state media as though they are not part of the state.

Considering that the markets flinch according to the exact words used when the fed / gov't makes a statement, it should be obvious that state media is spreading FUD about this precisely BECAUSE the elites want people to lose faith in the USD. How else are they going to attract people to their savior currency, the all powerful CBDC?
