They blindly repeat what western politicians say, including war propaganda (like alleged "weapons of mass destruction" in Iraq). When politicians from other countries say something against the western agenda, it is completely distorted to paint them as evil. Its not fact based at all, and doesnt even pretend to be neutral.
The Iraq and Afghanistan War examples are blatant and nice, but there should be more and easier ways to communicate the gist of the idea. It is hard, that is why I made the post. It is a real, big problem.
