You just couldn't see his point and why he made that statement.
The world at large are deluded with media
Westerners are more so.
The internet has made great strides in the advancement of communications worldwide.
I see more cons than pros.

100%, also the reason why many non-western countries aren't as deluded is because their governments/institutions are overtly corrupt, have history of being unstable or are conflict prone. This all disillusions the population of the people in charge. There is a strong inherent sense of cynicism.
This also explains why Chinese are the most susceptible when it comes to media trust, because they went on a meteoric rise from a 100 year period of humiliation to being a literal world-leader. The approval rating of cpc is like 95% (harvard study).
Could completely see the point he was making. Had to simply point out its logical fallacy.
If we take your point that Russians are less deluded, then that is even more worrying; due to the lack of protest or dissatisfaction with Putin.
To suggest westerners are more naive in regards to media, suggests you are truly lost.
Two decades of completely censored media in Russia.
140 million people living in Vlads personal black mirror episode.
I won't comment on China but I'm certain the censorship there is just as brutal.
