Their issue. I'm not a teacher, and I'm done trying to school baby liberals. This isn't reddit, but lemmy.ml, as in Marxism Leninism, and I'm too tired to go hunting for basic media imperialism 101 articles to argue on the internet because some guy said "src plz". The source is me, ok. This is not an academic paper, go find your own sources if you wanna dig in. I'll even help you out: Google Scholar the terms "associated press" and imperialism and soft power. Or better yet, just fucking read Lenin's Imperialism, highest stage of capitalism. This is basic shit that anyone from of the 50+ countries US empire has invaded knows.
