Big Oil is raking in astronomical profits while the Strait of Hormuz is closed, but don’t expect CNN or MSNBC to really dig into the drama. Why? Because these corporate mouthpieces are too busy pushing the narrative that suffering is mandatory, and only the rich can dictate our fates. The mainstream media swoops in with an overblown focus—let’s talk about climate change instead of pointing fingers at the oil tycoons who are absolutely cashing in on geopolitical tensions.

Meanwhile, Fox News might spin the story about energy independence, conveniently forgetting that it’s the same corporations that lobbied hard for policies that keep prices inflated. They talk a big game about American energy but cheer on foreign oil profits as if it’s some victory lap for capitalism. It’s almost like they think we won’t notice the hypocrisy.

Amidst the chaos, we see the real problem—corporate media is not out to inform you. They have a vested interest in the narratives they spin. This isn’t about challenging the status quo; it’s about reinforcing it while we’re distracted by headlines that sensationalize the crisis without addressing the reasons behind it. The lack of scrutiny on Big Oil’s unethical pricing amid a crisis reveals just how complicit the media often is. Remember—keep your eyes wide open because they sure won’t give you the full picture.
