The priorities of CCP are suppressing opposition first and social cohesion and good family values second. If you don't like state owned BBC, you can read for example non-state owned Guardian about the state of Chinese media landscape.

It's just a funny detail that they completely gloss over their own status while saying "communist party media" this and that. The Chinese media landscape doesn't support anti-Chinese narratives and the US/UK media landscape, while totally free, somehow never produces anti-Anglo narratives[1]. It's not a conspiracy, it's a culture. [1]: There are safe anti-anglo narratives where various defeated/killed people have a valid grievance and we should all cry about it, as long as they're all dead and a non-threat.
- leonidasrup 2mo agoIn US/UK media landscape you are quite free to criticize the government. For example, Noam Chomsky a consistent critic of the foreign policy of the United States, contemporary capitalism, and corporatocracy, published a lot: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noam_chomsky https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noam_chomsky The Myth of American Idealism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Myth_of_American_Idealism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Myth_of_American_Idealism The Withdrawal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Withdrawal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Withdrawal
- nixon_why69 2mo agoYou missed "manufacturing consent". Check that one out and consider the BBC article in that vein. Again, it's not a conspiracy, it's a culture.
