CNN is corporate media, RT is state media, Fox News is corporate media, xinhua is state media.
S
Corporate media is sometimes a cheerleader for government but most of the time in the United States its tearing the government apartment constantly. Not so with RT and xinhua. They aren’t equivalent and you have a grave misunderstanding of propaganda in form and effect. Corporate media can lie to you, but they aren’t part of the state apparatus with a police wing that will beat you down a la xinhua and RT for wrong expression of thought.
- ajsnigrutin 4y agoSo you're saying that democratic countries (EU) need censorship, because of the ownership of some random TV station that most people never watch, because they're afraid some of their people will see something different than eg. this: https://www.theguardian.com/world/gallery/2022/may/17/evacuation-of-azovstal-plant-in-mariupol-in-pictures https://www.theguardian.com/world/gallery/2022/may/17/evacua... ?
- Paradigma11 4y agoThe difference is that russian state owned propaganda is actively and intentionally trying to hurt western society. If there are two ways to do something and one way will do more damage then it will be done that way. I do think that it is within a nations right and responsibility to defend against such actors. Naturally there are no clear cut lines and things can get murky but this is the case with many aspects where we expect and accept government intervention.
