The media lies to you by simply opening it's mouth and telling you whatever bullshit they want you to believe. Most people think there's some kind of mechanism that prevents the media from lying to you. There isn't. They can say whatever the fuck they want and most people believe it because they imagine this ghost mechanism exists.
It's as simple as that.

national MSM is controlled . not so much as the content of the actual messaging, mostly by what is omitted.
and the jew is never named.

Like I said,they can tell you anything. All they need do is coordinate the story. Said loudly enough from every corner,repeated over and over,people will begin to believe anything is true.
