I'm a little bit incredulous reading this statement. In no world are those outlets in the same ballpark as Russian or Chinese state media.
Just because a new source has a tendency towards bias, doesn't mean that it isn't reliable. There are a small handful of news organizations that make a best effort towards the truth - and WaPo, NYTimes, and WSJ haven't won as many Pulitzers as they have by being unreliable.

- 101011 3y agoNo, for a myriad of reasons. Not the least of which being that investigative reporters have been systematically silenced within those countries, which is well-documented across a number of sources. And to top it off, the US government isn't deciding who gets Pulitzers - that's an award granted by a private ivy league school.
