Do you mean by "this lesson" that we should not expect a news source to be neutral or unbiased "these days"? If so then you are correct, 'news' is no different to 'opinion' and what is presented as one could easily be the other. So what is 'true news' and what is personal opinion is now indistinguishable. That is convenient for mass manipulation.
You're right, I should have used a small 'c' for communism, as in an ideology that promote the rights and shared ownership of the working class, as proposed by Marx and Lenin. Stalin and mao's images in the New American video were used as visual 'alarms' to instil anxiety by association with the green policy that the commentator was denouncing, as if by subscribing to those ideals, we would be in for Communism. China's current govt is not communism as Marx intended it. I do not support it, it is a fascist regime. I do not support Communism or Capitalism as both are corrupt. But I strongly doubt that calling for a halt on fossil-fuel use will ban barbecues, so that too is 'alarmist'.
Meanwhile Capitalism does not fulfil the true definition of democracy, despite the public opportunity to vote every 3,4,5 years, because the structure of society and economy doesn't change, many are disadvantaged under it, despite promises for the mostly unreachable carrot of 'equal opportunity'.
I think the ideology behind with these two systems of govt is long dead, disassociated by corruption and it is naive of the public (including Greta Thunberg) to believe there is any hope of redemption by the perpetrators. The public's perception is shallow because most do not know and cannot comprehend the reality. They just want to have a nice life on a pleasant planet and they don't know how else to achieve it. It is selfishly motivated in a way, but it is the self-absorption of the ignorant. And perhaps a primal love of life and nature drives us. Fox news and New american are not really alerting us to the truly heinous situation we are faced with, they are leading with small-scale scares and it is another petty distraction. They do not show us how to challenge it, so they too are part of the problem.
Yes I think Ronald Bernard is good and true, because he has awoken, and is the more remarkable coming from a place of such darkness.
I believe him too.
So what do you propose we do?

These are global institution at the helm, the IMF, the world bank, The world health organisation, the UN etc..
The social engineers have constructed this, so that uniformed and uneducated masses will actually plead for total control.
