  I mean states which are ruled democratically rather than by elites. This means that the implicit bias in a democratic media is that of serving the people and exposing truth rather than covering for corpo-fascists and state-sponsered terrorism. There's such a thing as genuinely good reporting and integrity in journalism (even in authoritarian states)- it just needs to also be free of coercion and aware of the frame of reference that it exists in.

    I was fourteen once too, kid. I know the world looks simple when you’re out there forming your very first political opinions, but it’s really not. The world isn’t some simple struggle between good guys and bad guys, it’s an incomprehensibly complicated overlap between lots of people acting in response to various incentives that they themselves don’t understand. I recommend keeping your mind open and your mouth shut as you learn a bit more about how the real world works; hopefully before you’re old enough to vote.
