      Yeah, their account is only a week old, and already has 110 posts, mostly VOA. Real sketchy.

      FWIW, I follow VOA in several languages (not my only or even major source of information) and their reporting is better than many major news sources (English language and ones in from my country).

        There’s a few state sponsored media companies that are actually quite reputable. Al Jazeera has generally be seen as pretty neutral on reporting. Although there’s some exceptions, but not as much as one would expect.

          Also depends what topics you’re looking at, I would not look to AJ for news about Qatar… Nor would I look at VOA for anything related to US foreign policy.

          There’s a difference between state owned media like AJ, CBC, BBC, and a media owned by the state department specifically created to influence and benefit american foreign policy.
