Look, somebody has to tell the unwashed masses that Israel is our perfect baby who can do nothing wrong.

Russian and Chinese state media are spending an “eyewatering” £8bn a year, compared with the World Service’s £400m budget.

I mean, yeah, that's kind of concerning. The reality is, whoever invests the most in propaganda is going to win.

No organization was spending more on foreign influence and media reportage than USAid. So of course the UK wants to fill the void. They're the voice of Anglo Saxony! They don't speak for this anglo-saxon (by heritage). /s

They're including the entirety of China's media budget.

While I agree things like npr, pbs, and local newspapers are propaganda, you guys typically don't. So it's silly to compare the two like that.

It's like saying the entirety of the UK's tv license fee is just for state run propaganda; and that's not fair, channel 4 exists and works against UK state propaganda.
