Having a free and independent press is extremely important and if a country doesn't have that I'm automatically skeptical of their claims. China and Russia only have state-backed reporting.

What makes you think our press is free or independent? Because they say so? Our press is owned by our local oligarchs. Our government, conveniently enough, is also owned by our local oligarchs.

Compared to China? Is this a serious question?

US media has plenty of problems, but there's no shortage of publications trashing whoever the current president is, unlike China.

You can't even talk about Winnie the Pooh in China, their premier is so butthurt.
