    This is what happens when the majority of the media is state owned. People live in a world of illusions, like in Turkey, like in N Korea, like in most other fascist states.

      In usa most media is bourgeois-owned and yet burgerlanders are the most propagandized people on earth.

      State owned media is important so the rich don’t take control over the narrative and overthrow the government and replace it with an oligarchy.

      Fascism is accompanied by privatization so state owned media is a sign of not-fascism

        State owned media in liberal democracies generally serve the national interest of the bourgeois state, its not indicitive of an anti-fascist society

        take australia as an example, look at how www.abc.net.au/news is reporting everything netenyahu says, his full press conferences, and interviewing Iranian dissidents living in aus

        look at how the abc is expanded into the pacific, under the pretense of countering PRC media

        it doesnt matter anyway, journalism as it stands, is just republishing what celebrities are saying about trans people on twitter, press releases from profiteering NGOs, and statements from the police

      It has nothing to do with ‘state-owned’ or not. That is just an anti-scientific dogmatic propaganda from the Blue Church. Private media can be bought - in fact, can ONLY be bought - to show a story, and they wouldn’t care shit if its true or not. Privatised media is just controlled by psychopath Capitalists that have too much money, and a selfish agenda - no true information is necessary in private media. The Capitalist West and its private media is the most propagandized place in the world !

        Well state owned media is also definitely a thing. And it goes through corporations too. The state forms some lucrative ties with a corporation and convinces it to buy media establishment en masse, put them under a single umbrella and convert them to propaganda machines. The state is nowadays just another cover for some people to get extremely rich so it sort of puts everything in the same pot.
