You can argue pretty much the exact same three points about government intervention in journalism everywhere.
Not really selling your point.
Your argument just seems like classic bothsidesism. Yes, western media isn't perfect, but western news media is far more free than Russian or Chinese media. So I'm gonna have a lot more skepticism about Russian and Chinese media than I do with US or European media.
In this case, I'd prefer something outside both regions. So maybe Indian news? Or my go-to, Al Jazeera.
So our standard is... "we're killing journalists and stifling perspectives, but not as much as the other guys?"
Great. I guess Western news media is driven by profits instead of government objectives, which makes things so much better.
