Has China CO-OPTED American Media?

After a New York Times article praising China and the Chinese Communist Party's response to the coronavirus, I began to wonder how much influence China has in American media. And the rabbit hole went deep. China has been paying for expensive dinners and trips to China for American journalists from the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, and Wall Street Journal, plus many others. And that's just the beginning, billionaires like Carlos Slim and Jeff Bezos have major business and investment interests in China. And they own newspapers. And 5 Mega corporations, like Disney, own 90% of everything you see on TV. What affect does that have on how we view China?
