It's an integral part of fascism, too. They need enemies to direct revolutionary energy towards, while creating scenarios where their depravity is justified.

CGTN is pretty decent. Bit boring, but news should be boring.

It's refreshing after watching western "news"

Western news is all like "KILL DEATH DANGER! BE SCARED! BE RACIST! BE HATEFUL! YOU AND EVERYONE YOU LOVE WILL DIE IF YOU STOP WATCHING!

and the CGTN is just like "Here's the news story, with no loud obnoxious spin on it, just our take on it presented in a straightforward manner."

Comments like this make me wish I could upbear more than once to elevate your response higher than my comment comrade, because you hit the nail right on the head far better than I could.

The constant influx of western capitalist media hyperbole is probably at least partially responsible for the extraordinary rate of anxiety disorders in western society, which I'm sure suits the capital-owning classes just fine, the only resolution being to be medicated to the levels of tranquility seen in a dairy cow before its slaughter.

The only way we can stop these woke telecom giants keeping people from seeing conservative content is to nationalize all communications infrastructure and provide free access to ensure that every American has the opportunity to read the president's ReTruths.
