It's not that it's impartial or unbiased. It's that it's not an editorial arm for the state. The United States doesn't even have a centralized, consistent state-run party that would exercise consistent pressure on NPR to publish certain stories or frame them in a certain way. It's an absurd comparison to link these to Chinese or Russian state-affiliated media.

The burden on is on you to provide evidence for your claims, not for me to go fishing for them.

Regardless, I doubt whatever you have in mind is anything similar to an authoritarian regime that literally murders critical journalists and poisons opposition politicians. It is an absurd comparison.

It doesn't have to be on the level of russia or china to be bad. What a weird arbitrary goalpost.

Russia and China didn’t start that way, it’s a process.
