No you see, the US media is 100% trustworthy when it comes to the evil enemy these days, they got it wrong in the past, but you can trust them now, for realsies. They certainly haven’t tried to deceive the public on law and order in China in the past. If that’s not good enough, how about a smug “everyone knows it” when making some outrageous claim about China? After all, it’s on wikipedia, which makes it true as well. It’s not like the US government would manipulate wikipedia! It’s certainly fine to trust the US government when it comes to China, They certainly wouldn’t lie about things happening in China to further their geopolitical interests And even so, we can certainly trust the independent reporting from other five eyes countries. But hey, there’s youtubers, regular people, just perfectly ordinary people who talk about how horrible China is. We can trust them! Indeed, if you don’t think China is an evil authoritarian hellhole a million billion times worse than America, you’re clearly brainwashed.

I’m replying to you with this tongue in cheek link dump because I want lurkers to see it, but I don’t want to waste my time with this POS lib anymore.

Al Jazeera? That to me is a pretty good combination of, not real Western friendly but also a largely independent news organization. And it is, literally anything.

CGTN, RT, and Sputnik are all operated by the governments in question; it would be like me reporting something I found on the White House’s web site. Telesur is a little more separated from China specifically, but still state-run, and it looks to me like they’re sort of the mirror image of the New York Times or something. I don’t really know them but looking right now it looks like they more or less just report whatever the Russian or Chinese governments are telling them.

Do you know of a non-Western non-state-operated outlet besides Al Jazeera? I’m happy with Al Jazeera.
