Especially when it come to pieces about China or Russia or America's enemies, western media today almost parroting each other, as if there is invisible hand guiding them today. Very few of them, especially the American media give critical analysis anymore, instead they are just parroting what the US officials feed them. Whenever I read news about China or Russia or Taliban, it doesn't matter whether I read it in CNN or CNBC or MSNBC or Bloomberg or any other mainstream US media, they are mostly the same, and they usually toe the lines that the US gov give them. Just because there is no direct control, doesn't mean there is no control.
Of course, their domestic news are a different matter altogether, just like their domestic politics.
And like I said, I don't really care anymore if the Russian or Chinese media is bias today, they are already at propaganda war with the US. So they have my support. I just wish they are more effective. Anyone here knew how much I despise the CCP propaganda dept for their ineffectiveness.
