This. They tailor their content to suit the target demographic. If you make English language media for an Anglo audience you are inevitably going to end up adopting either liberal imperialist talking points or reactionary social-conservative ones, else you will remain extremely niche.
For obvious reasons a Russian media outlet cannot take the liberal imperialist position. However we also see the other option happening with CGTN America, which is much closer to Western liberal media in its tone and positions than the actual (international) CGTN.
This also has to do with the fact that they have to hire native English speakers to host or translate their programming, or to advise them on how to market to western audiences. Depending on who they choose to hire, these people will also come with certain biases.
Yep. You see it with Russian state diplomatic channels too. I’ve watched Lavrov inject random things that US chuds believe, into truthful statements about the Ukraine war. I’m certain Lavrov and Russian intelligence has better information than that. Russia knows that team blue isn’t listening anyway, but the they can at least play into the existing reactionary mental bias of team maga to plant a few seeds.
It’s not perfect, but then it’s not really Russia’s responsibility to fix Amerikkkan brainworms.
As time goes on, something I notice more on Hexbear is that a lot of them expect help from global entities like China or other nations for the issues at home. I suppose part of the rant comes from you saying it’s “not their responsibility” which I hundred percent agree.
China has no interest in America (should specify internal politics. The most they care about is trade policy). Fixing America isn’t their problem. They’d rather see America tear itself apart and that’s a good thing. China has no interest in stepping in and stopping a conflict where America will inevitably tire and impale itself or giving America an excuse to pull it’s “Lenin’s rope-making industry” out of China. Same with Russia, all though they have brainworms of their own
Some of the shit I see on the news mega where they go “The problem with current Chinese geopolitics…” like a bunch of Westerners know fucking anything or that China gives a fuck. “They’re trading with Israel!!” yeah, no shit. Soviets traded with Americans even at the height of the cold war. Something they still haven’t noticed is that trade and economy is China’s strongest weapon and that they are literally funding, arming and organizing resistance behind the scenes while making Israel dependent on their exports.
They ignore the infrastructure and development they plant globally as a direct counter to the IMF which is honest to god more important than any westerner movement groping around in the dark in the U.S or Europe as all they have done is directly arm, fund and outfit Israel for genocide while criticizing China for it’s trade.
This isn’t all the Bear though, just notice whenever I go on the News mega, specifically.
You can’t say they don’t know their audience
