    1 is unquestionably correct, it’s how private media operates. As for 2, the idea of a “model communist state” is flawed thinking.

I support socialism, and the workers that make the world. The historical USSR fell into that category, and now the mantle is held by the PRC, DPRK, Vietnam, Laos, and Cuba.

        It’s definitely immensely difficult to come to terms with the fact that privately owned media controls most of what most people see and know about the rest of the world. You could call it a conspiracy
