It is absolutely not to inform the public of Who? What? When? Where? How? Why? of events that have just occurred [therefore, becoming NEWS (i.e., new event)].
It is 100% to daily, in dramatic form and as frequently as possible, ‘REMIND’ the naïve, the gullible, the weak-willed and the stupid who they (if they wish to be ‘cool’) are to believe are the Good Guys (versus the Bad Guys) and all embellishments of this paradigm so as to strengthen their (philosophically-rooted) Faithful Beliefs that Inform and Motivate people. This is to ensure conformity to the Ruling Class version of the only Holy Social Justice!
If you are confused, simply ask any ‘Progressive’ for clarification.
It is impossible to be pedantic or redundant or excessive.
PS. Remember: Since Donald J. Trump is the quintessential Bad Guy, every IRG operative from the (mad) Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini on down cannot be a Bad Guy in contrast too!
