On an article to article basis dependent on the context. Not as the entire outlet like you suggest. You’re intellectually dishonest to yourself if you do

Whether you like or dislike a source is a personal reaction that doesn’t determine its factual accuracy

Why are you making up what I think?

Because it’s essentially what you’re saying in subtext. You’re free to clarify

I realized that I wrote “state media” when I meant “state-owned.” The media you listed are state-funded, while TASS is state-owned.

Yet either way you try to (re)define it both reflect either states ruling class bias and you arbitrarily decide to dismiss one of those and didn’t even realize about the existence of the other.

I’m saying that some sources are worse than others.

And I’m saying it’s a logical fallacy to dismiss it in it’s entirety, as there exists context where these sources of information are valuable.

State media is biased towards it’s ruling party/class and therefore not trustworthy. I’ll assume whatever media source that confirms my bias is trustworthy

Sounds like an echo chamber

Also

US don’t have state media

PBS, NPR, CSPAN, VoA, RadioFree, etc

Parenti and Chomsky to some degree argue that private corporate media is closely aligned to state interest, due to its intertwining with intelligence services

Your comment reveals a lack of media literacy. There is a fundamental difference between Russian outlets like TASS and RT, which are state-controlled, and Fox News, which is corporate-owned. State media acts as the direct voice of the government, whereas corporate media answers to advertisers and owners. This makes the bias in state media far more explicit regarding national interests; their agenda is transparent. Conversely, Fox News still operates within a framework of journalistic standards and market competition. It contains valuable context depending on the situation, so dismissing it entirely is a mistake

You say both are bad yet you default to only trust western sources

Instead of the Palestine flag it should be a Taiwanese one
