The same people who’ve been telling us how we can’t trust media from China because it’s state owned are now telling us that state owned media is the only way to fight disinformation. 🙃
Look, somebody has to tell the unwashed masses that Israel is our perfect baby who can do nothing wrong.

Russian and Chinese state media are spending an “eyewatering” £8bn a year, compared with the World Service’s £400m budget.
I mean, yeah, that’s kind of concerning. The reality is, whoever invests the most in propaganda is going to win.
They’re including the entirety of China’s media budget.
While I agree things like npr, pbs, and local newspapers are propaganda, you guys typically don’t. So it’s silly to compare the two like that.
It’s like saying the entirety of the UK’s tv license fee is just for state run propaganda; and that’s not fair, channel 4 exists and works against UK state propaganda.
