Their objective is to make people cynical and subsequently believe that only the Dear Leader can be believed and not the news media. In the words of the Cheeto Benito
"Just remember, what you are seeing and what you are reading is not what's happening. Just stick with us, don't believe the crap you see from these people, the fake news."
These cynical tactics seem to have worked on you (unsurprisingly).
