Yes, state run media never has propaganda. Glory to the Supreme Leader!

We are talking about financing. You calling it "state run" only serves to reveal your own bias. It is very much possible to have non profit independent news as well as public funded news outside of politicians control. We have this in Norway, which is really fucking important because one fucking company has bought all for profit news agencies.

Speaking of glory to the supreme leader, the company in question is also privately held like some sort of Succession fantasy.

Yes, Norway, the richest country of the world per capita, a very relatable and reproducible system.

Let us not pretend it is that much of an expense to have national public broadcast services. There is also PBS in the US, SVT in Sweden, BBC in the UK and so on. Just admit your point was pointless and the cherry picking was done on your side and move on.

Yes, I (who didn't provide examples) was cherry picking. Do you even know what that expression means?

Are you saying I was wrong for assuming you had examples in mind and that your claim was baseless? Either way, using the term supreme leader ironically is top notch lib edgelord rhetoric in the absence of understanding power dynamics.

Yes, you were wrong.

Was definitely wrong to think you had some sense

Oh, the ad hominems!

You have yet to make an actual argument, which lowers the bar for what I am willing to contribute back.

I made my argument like 7 messages back, you decided to ignore it, because some petrostate has a lot of money, and then hurl insults.

You just said you did not have any examples to back your claim. Hence it is not an argument, but, as said, a baseless claim.
