Surely there are people being brainwashed by these media both on their origin country as well far away. But many people all over the world now knows they are just propaganda machine, most of them even biased for one political view within their own country.
It has got to an extent that many people would assume the opposite to be true when they speak anything. The recent US election is the proof that brainwashing attempt through media could be counterintuitive. I'd not go to who is better but the constant and deliberate attempt of traditional media like CNN in US context to potray Trump as a bad person backfired.
