The US isn&#x27;t run by an autocracy so there are competing interests in the government. It doesn&#x27;t make sense to claim they are being controlled by the government, because they wouldn&#x27;t agree with each other on what should be said. That said, there&#x27;s definitely an implicit bias that America is right and North Korea&#x2F;Iran&#x2F;Russia etc are wrong but that&#x27;s a nationwide problem, hardly evidence of some mass conspiracy.
