Where is the opposite point the western "free press" saying, maybe China is not committing Genocide? Because reading publications like The Economist, The New York Times or The Guardian you will never find it.Where is the opposite point in the mainstream press asking for GW Bush to be trialed as a war criminal (which he is)?

So according to your logic, both "x is True" "x is False" should appear side by side? That is not the meaning of free press.

No, but nice strawman, congrats. According to my logic , if A does something wrong and it is heavily criticized in the press, when B does the same I expect the same level of criticism and that does not happen at all. Then it is obvious the press is responding to many incentives (political , economical, tribal) which make it not really that free.

For example, you are saing it here, on English-speaking website located in USA. And you are not scared of possible consequences for you and your family.
I am pretty sure there are many better examples, but this one is here and now, and hard to deny.
