> Especially nowadays, when opinions hostile to China are bipartisan, it's important to see how they treat these topics from the other side That logic is too simplistic. The "sides" aren't symmetrical and equivalent. CGTN is meant to be China's version of RT, it exists to further China's foreign propaganda goals, that doesn't include accurate and honest journalism when that would conflict with those goals. CGTN banned from use on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:CGTN https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:CGTN > China Global Television Network was deprecated in the 2020 RfC for publishing false or fabricated information. Many editors consider CGTN a propaganda outlet, and some editors express concern over CGTN's airing of forced confessions. Telesur is also banned: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources#Telesur https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Per... > Telesur was deprecated in the 2019 RfC, which showed consensus that the TV channel is a Bolivarian propaganda outlet. Many editors state that Telesur publishes false information. As a state-owned media network in a country with low press freedom, Telesur may be a primary source for the viewpoint of the Venezuelan government, although due weight should be considered. Telesur is biased or opinionated, and its statements should be attributed.

  It seems you believe that BBC, Fox News and CNN don't push their own propaganda?

    > It seems you believe that BBC, Fox News and CNN don't push their own propaganda? Please. First of all: One of those things is not like the other, one of those things just doesn't belong. Can you tell which one is not like the other, by the time we finish our song? (hint: Fox News, which is mostly opinion blowhards). It's the difference between trying to get the story right trying to get the propaganda line right. Even if you think the BBC is propaganda, you won't balance it with even more blatant propaganda that's far less focused on being journalism (e.g. from a country where the media is managed like this: https://chinadigitaltimes.net/china/directives-from-the-ministry-of-truth/ https://chinadigitaltimes.net/china/directives-from-the-mini..., or who puts banners on their buildings that say "the surname of the central television network is the party" (roughly translated)).
