Line 93:
* USTV in ''[[Infamous (video game series)|In Famous]]'' falls squarely into Type 2. It is pure, unadulterated propaganda claiming that [[Blatant Lies|the situation in Empire City is fine]], and blatantly tries to cover up the very existence of Cole.
** The Voice of Survival isn't much better {{spoiler|and even if he genuinely was the only real voice of truth in the beginning, by the end it's clear that he'd been a Type 5, probably under duress.}}
* In the ''[[Grand Theft Auto]]'' games, [[GTA Radio|the news media]] usually gets Types 3 and 4. In ''[[Grand Theft Auto IV|GTA IV]]'', for example, [[Fox News Channel|Weazel News]] and WKTT have a conservative bias, [[NPRNational Public Radio|Public Liberty Radio]] is openly leftist, and ''Fizz!'' and OurOwnReality.com worship celebrities.
* Picus TV from ''[[Deus Ex: Human Revolution|Deus Ex Human Revolution]]'' {{spoiler|is clearly Type 5 with a hint of Type 1}}.
