It's bad in China, no doubt, but don't get this matter too confused. America isn't really that great on reporting. We don't have The State handing down what is and isn't reportable, forcing a state controlled narrative, but... We do tend to have these false narratives spun by business leaders to get more eyes on screens and papers. Now, the problem is, this has always been the case to one degree or another, sometimes less, sometimes more. We need as objective reporting as we can get with less editorializing and less spin, less driving specific narratives. We are undoubtedly better than China in the realm freedom of the press, but we still have a LONG way to go until we can really throw stones.
