            I’m not a westerner. But TASS and RT are like Fox News in the US. Those are simply bad sources.

              Your comment reveals a lack of media literacy. There is a fundamental difference between Russian outlets like TASS and RT, which are state-controlled, and Fox News, which is corporate-owned. State media acts as the direct voice of the government, whereas corporate media answers to advertisers and owners. This makes the bias in state media far more explicit regarding national interests; their agenda is transparent. Conversely, Fox News still operates within a framework of journalistic standards and market competition. It contains valuable context depending on the situation, so dismissing it entirely is a mistake

                I know this. I just don’t think state-controlled media is much different from corporate media under oligarchy. US don’t have state media (edit: state-owned, not just state-funded) as far as I know, but if they were, those media would simply change bias toward the ruling party.

                I mentioned Fox News because they feel similar in spirit: conservative and usually not trustworthy.

                  State media is biased towards it’s ruling party/class and therefore not trustworthy. I’ll assume whatever media source that confirms my bias is trustworthy

                  Sounds like an echo chamber

                  Also

                  US don’t have state media

                  PBS, NPR, CSPAN, VoA, RadioFree, etc

                  Parenti and Chomsky to some degree argue that private corporate media is closely aligned to state interest, due to its intertwining with intelligence services
