Fox News and MSNBC are propaganda for American political parties not foreign governments. They have a much stronger constitutional argument for 1st Amendment protection than Russia Today or China Central TV would.



It seems you are not looking to American history: CIA and dictatorships in Latin America?


What’s the argument here? Because the US does harm to others, they should permit others to harm them?


No, it is to talk apples vs. apples about the upper argument on USA having propaganda only internally.


The US government absolutely has its own government run media outlets such as Voice of America and foreign governments do ban them. For example, the Taliban has attempted to ban VOA in Afghanistan:

FoxNews and MSNCB are directed internally. An example of American propaganda directed externally would be Voice of America.
