Media propaganda in the West? (U.S and Europe)?
Lately, You turn on the TV news channel, open Google news, all you see is your country trashing the other countries who are doing better than you! Doesn't even matter if they are true, It is the amount of the news and the actual context are becoming more and more aggressive, more and more subjective, more like attacks rather than objective views!
Take the U.S and France for example, US media was focusing 100% on the middle east telling the Americans how wrong the Arabians were for years, that given the U.S government a foundation and reason to start a War in middleeast, so when they actually did the Americans will stand by their government! and today they are bitching about the chinese!
If the chinese communist is really controlling their media, our governments are not doing any different!! Aren't you just sick of hearing more about China? I mean, the whole point of getting news about Foreign countries is so that we can learn about the rest of the world, so we can think of a way to do better, but what we should be focusing is still our economy, our country and our people! Trashing others is only going to make your people angry and pissed about the Far east is doing better than the west, not turning things around...
My question would be Do you agree the view on Media Propaganda in the West?
RE everyone already knows this fact: I don't think American and European know that...

No, I don't buy into the media's propaganda in the West because media is all about sensationalism, melodrama, bias, ad hominem attacks, it's not about information or facts anymore. Other countries trash the U.S., it goes both ways.

You're overlooking something.
Some Western nations - i.e.: Canada - have truth-in-journalism laws.
These prohibit the broadcast of false of misleading information.
In short, they're literally laws against lying in the news.
Kindly quit trying to tar and feather all Western nations with the same brush.
You doing so is propaganda in and of itself.

You did not ask a question.
You just told something that everyone else on the planet already knows.
