I know that. I am not deluded into thinking the US media is not at all influenced or affected by the US govt. But the point here is that the US news are free to say whatever it wants until the US govt says otherwise. In China, it is the other way around, the PRC tells the news what to say and the news isn't allowed to push a non-approved narrative, at least not on any noticeable scale.
In fact, Fox News is so biased it is literally being sued right now and you can be sure Biden administration won't lift a single finger to help it. The current govt actually condemns almost everything Fox News say.
That is why no single news source in the US speaks for the US govt. Unless all of them agrees with each other, they are just speaking for themselves.

This is more or less true. The Media has to be aligned with the Establishment, not necessarily with the sitting government (one out of the duopoly).
