Your argument just seems like classic bothsidesism. Yes, western media isn’t perfect, but western news media is far more free than Russian or Chinese media. So I’m gonna have a lot more skepticism about Russian and Chinese media than I do with US or European media.
In this case, I’d prefer something outside both regions. So maybe Indian news? Or my go-to, Al Jazeera.

So our standard is… “we’re killing journalists and stifling perspectives, but not as much as the other guys?”
Great. I guess Western news media is driven by profits instead of government objectives, which makes things so much better.
