No different than in the usa channel news controlled by either democrats and republicans
Well, I'm glad I don't live there either :)
Not privately owned, but owned by the state? Awesome
Above comment brought to you by yet another world account who can't handle a news outlet that goes against approved western narratives and thus labels it "propaganda"
Yeah, dude, that's not what happening here.
This is Putin's mouthpiece to the world.
MhhHmm, and Associated Propaganda/New York Lies/Radio Free* is the US empires' mouthpiece to the world
I mean, it is literally run by the use of Russian Government money. It IS state media, AKA propaganda
That's not what propaganda is. Propaganda is much much bigger than that. First, if state media is propaganda then you have to discard BBC, NPR, and Al-Jazeera, among many others.
Second, if you only look at state media you miss the decades of infiltration and manipulation of Fox, NYT, AP, and many others by state actors.
Third, if you forget how class works, you miss the centuries of propaganda produced by private media companies with leadership that collaborates with the state to maintain and expand their power.
Example, when China banned opium, it was British merchants who owned newspapers that published inflammatory stories calling for the royal Navy to intervene, this starting the Opium Wars.
You HAVE to read everything because everything is propaganda and you ARE capable of learning from it without being swayed by it.
Oh and that's different from all the US empire funding for various western outlets how exactly?
I don't think I sang the praises of any media outlets in my comments, did I? And im not American or live in America, so could also care less about certain (also propaganda) American news outlets and what they have to say
The empire has deep tendrils.
Are you saying that the Whitehouse runs these news outlets? Because the A. P Is definitely not run by them
Various US empire agencies vet and approve Associated Propaganda's reporting to ensure it furthers their imperialistic goals
We just supposed to take your word for that?
Well, I've got to say: I wasn't convinced by this argument at all until that diagram appeared. And now, wow, I'm sold. Holy shit. Looks, there's shapes and everything. Truly, if something is shown in a diagram it MUST be accepted as fact.
Edit: Oh, wow, look, I found another diagram:
