Third, if you forget how class works, you miss the centuries of propaganda produced by private media companies with leadership that collaborates with the state to maintain and expand their power.
Example, when China banned opium, it was British merchants who owned newspapers that published inflammatory stories calling for the royal Navy to intervene, this starting the Opium Wars.

Oh and that’s different from all the US empire funding for various western outlets how exactly?

Are you saying that the Whitehouse runs these news outlets? Because the A. P Is definitely not run by them
