Suuuure. Not paid directly by the gov, but unless you've been living under a rock, everyone knows that politicians and big corporations (or in this case: Fox News) work hand in hand to push propaganda... Or like you said "put a positive spin on negative events".

People just like to jump on TikTok and be like CHINA BAD!. As if America was an angel lmao.

WTF is wrong with you? China is running ads trying to convince people that they're not really genociding the Uyghur Muslims they're just detaining them to send them all to school!

As if America was an angel lmao.

I never said it was, again WTF is wrong with you in your head? Criticizing one group doesn't equate to support for an opposing group.
