If people lost trust on Western medias, it's not because of Russians, it's because we are constantly producing propaganda as well. It's just different.
They're also foreign owned, and promote policies that would prevent people from voting, allow counts to be ignored.
Since they're Australian, they're not even geographically "western".
Fox News, and stylized in all caps, is an American multinational conservative cable news television channel based in New York City.[2][3][4] It is owned by Fox News Media, which itself is owned by the Fox Corporation.[5]
Fox Corporation (stylized in all-caps as FOX Corporation)[5] is a publicly traded American mass media company operated and controlled by media mogul Rupert Murdoch and headquartered at 1211 Avenue of the Americas in New York City. Incorporated in Delaware, it was formed in 2019 as a result of the acquisition of 21st Century Fox by The Walt Disney Company

The only difference between the US and Russia is the the US is a lot more subtle when it comes to generating propaganda.
If western news outlets focused a little more on actually being reliable and objective maybe people wouldnt lose confidence.
I hardly think Russian propaganda is required for people to do this.
Also, organizations that still have journalists on staff, and win awards such as the Pulitzer Prize are a good bet.
One of the main goals of the current Russian propaganda push in the US is to get people to lose confidence in reliable news outlets. They want us to believe that our best news outlets are equivalent to their basement troll farms that just fabricate stories day in and out.
The two are not the same.
Giving equal per story weight to misinformation spammers is equivalent to letting those spammers censor the rest of the media. Is that really what you want duck duck go and other western sites to do?
