OP’s account is less than 24 hours old and already contains two articles from nonreputable sources and a complaint urging people not to trust the reputability watchdog. Even if I am overreacting, that’s a bad look.
Also, nobody said it has to be state sponsored. Nongovernmental actors propagandize shit all the time. People do it all the time for free in my home country, and I guarantee you’ve experienced the negative effects of it, because this is why you hear things about American conservatives every day.
A citizen who cannot trust their news cannot act. And a citizen who cannot trust an independent fact checker cannot trust their news.
