It’s very easy to not look like propaganda but still push a message that spins things in a certain light.

Many news agencies practice this, Al Jazeera, RT, the BBC, etc.

It’s not just east and west, it’s common practice.

The extreme vitriol we get here in the states is because SHOCK sells domestically but if you want to sell your message globally you say it politely and calmly and often in a soft spoken way.

The point of foreign facing news is to seem reasonably so you can push another narrative.

Not necessarily saying “foreign” news is bad, in fact I recommend everyone take a peep but always remember with whatever information you’re consuming someone has their bias in it
