That is certainly one way of looking at it. The government confers reputability onto the press. If that is an appropriate role for the state in your view, you need not examine further.

Another perspective might observe that Pravda was similarly considered "legitimate enough" by the USSR.

Which of these best describes the information bubble you found yourself in at the top of the thread?

I'm not even sure what you're asking, sorry. I don't think you can infer I'm in some bubble, or my head's in the sand, because I don't conclude from this article that we should scrap the official secrets act
