Well to be fair that's something we need for all channels.
I think what defeats the point of this thread, is that even though it's a good lesson, it's not nearly as mischevious and misleading as channels that don't advertise a particular perspective, or even if they do it's a big perspective with multiple narratives(like conservative news/Fox news, or liberal news) rather than a linear one like this, and then tell lies. It's easier to be duped when there aren't big red flags.
Sure, this is a lot like advertising in North Korea. You want to know the difference? They don't have a choice in Korea. If you're a person who goes out of their way to watch news specifically sponsored by Trump, you're already putting aside any alternative view points, or facts that contradict his narrative. It's a given. It's not like he's controlling every news channel, or buying out CNN in secret and hiring new newsreporters. This is a video that simply is for people who already follow Trump, so it fails at any real deceptiveness because anyone with any political awareness would avoid news coming straight from the figure in question. It would be like a bill cosby news channel denying he's a rapist. Like yeah it's misleading, but it's a bill cosby news channel ... what are they going to say?
