they are owned by a Nasdaq-listed company. does that not the defeat the purpose when OP is trying to avoid Wall Street-ownership?

like the user below me points out, it’s about the apparent hypocrisy that is oh-so visible today in Western media. we love to point out the bad things our ‘enemies’ engage in - even though we are doing the same acts ourselves - in which we never talk about.

We’re throwing stones from a glass house. And when ppl throw the stones back, we call it ‘whataboutism’. lol

And we just pretend like the West never does coups - be it to instill a pro-NATO or pro-EU or pro-free market… Only the other side does these undemocratic/injust acts right? We are just trying to help!
