All that’s present is a false dichotomy between state propaganda and corporate propaganda, and the implication that people who choose corporate propaganda are idiots. This reads as apologia for consuming state propaganda, framed as media literacy. If it’s not, it needs more context.
There is no dichotomy, both RT and Western corporate media are billionaire run bullshit. Choosing one or the other is a losing game, you need to critically analyze all the information you are exposed to and cross reference.
You are talking all your biases into it and reading information that is literally not present. This is just making fun of liberals in the US who comment on lemmy threads about RT being unreliable and not much else. The implication is really that the western media is equally unreliable. You are so propagandized that the mere mention of RT makes you leap to wild conclusions.

This is the false dichotomy: RT and western media. You’ve even stopped distinguishing between western corporate media and western media in this comment, because you boiled it down to this false binary. What about Common Dreams? ProPublica? Democracy Now? Those aren’t western media?
If the point here is, “Liberals think CNN/MSNBC/NYT isn’t biased because its not state media,” fine, but with no context, this just as easily reads, “RT is fine because corporate news is also biased.” That’s why this is sitting at 59% upvotes.
You’re full of shit, sorry my typing isn’t accurate enough for you. There is no dichotomy and you are reading way more into this meme because you personally want to be mad at a strawman. This meme is simply about the people who complain about RT being posted and the joke is that they only trust CNN. That is it. The person says “I only trust western corporate news” and the joke is that RT is in fact no different than western corporate owned billionaire news. The Russian government is run by billionaires too.
If you want to be butthurt or try to concoct some gotcha, go ahead and have a blast. I’m convinced I will never see anything being posted from your account worth reading so I’m going to block you. I suggest you do the same. I don’t have downvotes enabled on my instance and don’t care.
Alright, I’m prettty sure the only reason you’re so bitchy about this is because my second reading of the meme is what you actually believe, and you’re pissy that someone called you our for defending propaganda. Block me if you want, it’s really more of a mute button anyway. Enjoy being media literate.
I guess media literacy is when you think those are the only two options.
If that is your take from looking at this meme then you are taking way more from it than is present
