Remarks from the US State Department, repeatedly have demonized independent sources such as RT and Sputnik News for receiving funding from their nation state, however likewise the American News Industry is kept alive on government subsidy making all truly independent sources not accepting any state funding, pondering why is this even going on at all.
Myself being born and raised in Canada we have always had a State Operated and Funded News Corporation (The CBC), but we all knew it, we all knew it was government news. Accompanying the state news was a list or better said an array of privately funded sources all of which smash the state news on ratings time and time again.
This was understood and accepted and in my opinion allows some sort of counterbalancing effect, preventing either side from straying too far from the facts into opinionated agenda pushing. "In my opinion".

In America or if you like the United States, this sort of system is non existent, with instead an entire industry of media corporations that all receive some sort of tax cut or subsidy from the government making them state funded organizations at their core. One can only assume that by acceptance of state funds their must be some sort of two way deal made, even if its an unwritten one like in the way RT operates.
I don't think you have ever heard me criticize RT or Russia that strongly, at least not for their more current history, but i am fully aware and understand that RT also receives funds from its Nation State too which American Officials have repeatedly used to accuse RT of double standards in its reporting practices and I agree their is the possibility for such activity, however I have not been witness to it myself.
Any News Corporation that gets money from a nation state by default must then attempt to report on that nations engagements in a positive light, doubling this strategy with negative highlighting for the opposition, this is all just common sense.

But as RT Reports contrary to FakeStream belief in the west a large portion of the outlets who assumed are privately owned and operated are highly funded by the US government, such as the Washington Post and New York Times with a panel that oversees which outlets qualify for funding. Obama regime has added further cause for concern removing the panel of 8-9 officials including the attorney general down to a sole appointee choosing by the presidents office.
If this was not enough under the new reforms this appointee with have full power to decide who qualifies and who does not, with an added provision that outlets that receive funding must accept appointment of head editors at the outlets if and when requested.
RT(Russia Today) absolutely does receive funding from its nation state but its up front, obvious and no one is fooled into thinking otherwise, were is in the American industry, no one knows these are state News Corporations, nowhere do they publicize and daily they are pumping out pieces demonizing everyone under the sun for exactly the engagement they have undertaken.
