"Middle East Spectator is a pro-regime Telegram outlet based in Tehran, as all media channels based in Tehran are – by law."

Is there a significant media channel anywhere that isn't 'pro-regime' towards the government they work under? If so I'm not aware of it.

The government of each country creates the laws that media organizations must work under. All media organizations support the government of their respective countries. If they don't, then they are subversive and will be marginalized, curtailed or prosecuted.

The myth in the Collective West is that we have a free media and that it can even oppose the government. That's nonsense. Western media may oppose a specific government policy, or even a political party. But Western media is utterly beholden to the government apparatus it works under, and it will fall in line every time the government snaps its fingers.

Thanks for posting this. CNN’s “explainer” at 01:45 in that link (seems to be one CNN reporter interviewing another CNN reporter, heaven knows why) about why the U.S. needs to spy on its own “allies” (remember Obama/Merkel?) is just embarrassing. It’s worth occasionally viewing snippets of controlled corporate media just to remind oneself why they can be safely ignored.
