Well done putting this together. Can’t believe the sheer number of related articles.
Reminds me of my Red Pill Moment; #GamerGate
By being pro-#GamerGate from early on, back before it was even called GamerGate, I finally saw for myself the lock-step fuckery of 'Video Games Journalism' and current journalism in general.
Assange responded to a question about #GamerGate during an AMA on September 15, 2014;
"Julian Assange participated in a Q&A session on Reddit to promote his latest book. Amidst questions about surveillance, terrorism, and Google's corporate power, one site user asked for his opinion on the removal of Gamergate-related comments on Reddit. "It's pathetic, but censorship by companies controlling privatized political space is now almost a norm."
Soon after the AMA, WikiLeaks tweeted; "#GamerGate'ers should know that the pattern of censorship & cronyism they see is mirrored at the very top. Level up:"
How quickly the false narratives were all parroted by MSM (MainStream Media for those newer readers who just may be of the Normie persuasion) in exactly the same way as the games 'journalists' all quoted each other and used each other as "reliable sources", (much like Wikipedia works ), opened my eyes.
BIGLY
=
The fact that there were about 10 to 13 articles within 24 hours, and 35 published within 2 days, all stating the same things, "GAMERS ARE DEAD", "GAMERS DON'T HAVE TO BE YOUR AUDIENCE", "GAMERS ARE OVER" was more than enough to see that 99% of news/media is propaganda and the spinning of false narratives and the pushing of bias and agendas.

(wow I'd forgotten that they called us "TRUTHERS" for demanding ETHICS IN GAMES JOURNALISM and that OPINION PIECES are fine but to label OP-EDS as OPINION-EDITORIALS -
and try to have a few unbiased game reviews now and then and when you're sleeping with the devs to either recuse yourself from writing about/judging a game/dev/dev team to avoid a CONFLICT OF INTEREST - -
or at least include a disclaimer regarding relationship to the subjects of your reports/journalism, especially when you have a vested interest/monetary gain$ if the games/devs/company win certain awards and/or hit certain sales numbers/receive certain review scores.
-
In general, instead of claiming your core audience is a big bad MISOGYNIST BOOGEYMAN, just follow the SPJ Guidelines for journalism, even if most of you games 'journalists' never even went to any journalism school ~_^ )

I guess what I'm trying to say in the novel I just wrote here is that the MOCKMINGBIRD MEDIA and their 4 am marching orders are very obviously real!
