Let’s say the New York Times publishes multiple articles and opinion pieces stating that a certain country in the middle east has weapons of mass destruction, and following this in a period 20 years a million people die a violent death in said country. Would you blame this on the printing press, on the people delivering the newspapers, on the word processing software used to write these articles, or on the people willingly pushing lies. The same goes for climate change misinformation or smoking health effects misinformation (and many more examples).
Capital has interests and is willing to go quite far pushing them, the tools they use change but the methods and the culprits stay the same.
