    Can you show me a single case of it seemingly acting against the interest of the government to which it belongs?

    You’re asking for a very tall order considering that, having listened to US news most morning for the past three years, I can’t recall of a single mainstream US or foreign news outlet that has done that. Not even DW does that from Berlin. I don’t think that’s how the mainstream news operates, tbh.

    But if you ask, “do they report critical news on the US”?

    Then the answer is yes. It’s largely criticizing Gov. Abbott’s move as unethical and dangerous, which is true. I even checked other largely unbiased news sites like NPR and their reporting is on par. (Don’t even try to pretend that NPR is another shill news outlet. Spare me the eye rolling.)

    along with class third-positionist nonsense about “divisiveness” that liberals always seem to fall for

    I honestly find your entire assessment more biased, nit-picky, and exaggerated than the article itself.

    I’m surprised this isn’t framed in a more threatening manner,

    It’s the second time you act surprised that they didn’t meet your expectations of an overt propaganda channel.

    but continues a tone of fearmongering.

    Does it, though? I’m not saying it can’t be subtle, but let’s browse Newsmax or any of the extremist, domestic news outlets for a second and draw a comparison for what it really could be, and then reassess if it really fits the shoe.
