I don't find it surprising at all. It's basically a propaganda platform. Can't decide if its worse than Twitter or not.

- pphysch 5y agoDoes TikTok mark Washington's enemies with big "X-state affiliated media" warnings while omitting them for American-state affiliated media?
- creato 5y agoI can’t speak for twitter, but every American publicly funded news organization I know of has that label on YouTube (PBS for one)
- philliphaydon 5y agoWhich media is controlled by the state in the US? Or are you implying the lack of 'Russia funded media' on Fox?
- pphysch 5y agoDirectly, USAGM controls VoA, RFE/RL, RFA, etc. Wikipedia allows these as "reliable sources". Twitter doesn't tag them. The current CEO of NPR is a former USAGM exec. PBS FRONTLINE has unprecedented access to interviewing top DoD/State officials for stories that advance their agendas. Interesting. Indirectly, all the establishment media has close ties to national security. NYT admitted that potentially sensitive stories need to get screened by the government before publishing. That's state control over media where it counts.
