    So your standard is completely arbitrary and is just accepting the sources that agree with your pre held pro western opinion

      It’s not arbitrary, I wouldn’t trust Western run state owned media either. If it’s state owned, it cannot be trusted.

      Look at who’s running Voice of America these days, you trust them? Oh, fuck no.

      But has nothing to do with it being “Western” it has to do with it being a mouthpiece for the current ruling party.

      You trust the news you get from Putin? LOL. Or from Ali Khamenei? Erdoğan? Because if you do, you’re being lied to and in your desperate attempt to avoid “Western” media, you will never know it.

        Lol, that Wikipedia article you linked uses state owned media as a source. Guess you are willing to trust state media so long as it’s laundered through a nice, western friendly proxy

        So BBC, ABC, CBC are all propaganda outlets that you reject and can’t be trusted?

        What about privately owned propaganda outlets? You’ve been happy to slurp those down so long as they agree with you.

            BBC, ABC, CBC are not state run, this outlet in Iran IS. See the difference?

            Loooooooooooooooooooooooool

            Ok, so you’re tactic is to just stick your fingers in your ears and scream “no no no no” to basic facts.

            The BBC charter makes it independent of the British government

            Except for the bit where it funds it and selects its board. Only the most willfully dishonest, piece of shit lying ideologue would say that is independent.

            The fact you don’t know ANY of this speaks volumes.

            Seems like you’re the one who doesn’t know if you think they’re independent. But of course, you do know; but they agree with your ideology so you’re willing to lie through your teeth to defend them

            Feel free to read their charters:

            So does Iranian state media have in their charters that they are propaganda outlets for the government? Because if not, you would be a scum fucking hypocrite to consider them that while also expecting us to take the words of the western state media outlets at their words, just because you agree with them.

              Again, 6 links provided, 6 links completely unread and ignored.

              I can’t educate you if you refuse to read.

              You provide any links yet saying Iranian state media is to be trusted? No? I guess you can shut the fuck up then until you do.

              Still waiting…

                Lol, I see you’ve given up even reading my comments before you respond. I guess you must find it very hard to actually address what people who disagree with you say when you’ve become so used to just smashing that ban button on anyone who makes a point you can’t respond to. Maybe you should scuttle your ass back to your little digital fiefdom where you can defend Gaza genocide deniers without anyone being able to remind you what a loathsome little toady hypocrite you are.

                    Lol, you’re clearly really struggling with the fact that you can’t just ban me for disagreeing with you here, like you and your stooges on .world are used to.

                    Remember, you literally banned me because I reported someone denying the Gaza genocide.
