    LOL I’m interested in nothing but impariality.

    State run media, by definition, is not impartial. Doubly so when talking about Russia, China, Ukraine, Turkey, Iran, etc. etc.

      Doubly so

      So I’m used to you contradicting yourself from one post to the next, but now you’re doing it from one sentence to the next.

      And let’s be honest “impartiality” just means "agrees with your preexisting pro-western bias

        No contradiction:

        State run media is biased in favor of the state running it. That’s a basic fact.

        When talking about certain governments, it’s EVEN WORSE than normal government interference.

        You think you’re getting honest news out of Pyongyang? Someone’s Pyonging your Yang if you know what I mean…

        See also Moscow, Beijing, Tehran, Tel Aviv, Ankara…

          No contradiction:

          “I’m interested in nothing but impartiality.” vs “Doubly so when talking about Russia, China, Ukraine, Turkey, Iran, etc. etc.”

          That’s the opposite of impartiality, dog.

          When talking about certain governments, it’s EVEN WORSE than normal government interference.

          Prove it. Oh wait, they oppose your ideology, which is all you care about.

          You think you’re getting honest news out of Pyongyang?

          You think you’re getting honest news out of NYT, or BBC, or AP?

          See also Moscow, Beijing, Tehran, Tel Aviv, Ankara…

          Funny how you never include London or Washington or Canberra or the like on this list, Oh right, it’s only “certain governments” you don’t consider impartial.

              They’re not meaningfully distinct from state media in function, any differences are superficial and deliberate attempts to obscure the connection between corporate control of the state and corporate control of the media, be less gullible plz

              NYT, BBC, AP ARE NOT STATE OWNED MEDIA.

              YES. THEY. ARE. YOU. HYPOCRITICAL. LAIR.

              Also, it’s fucking telling that you straight up couldn’t address the rest of what I said.
