These kinds of semantic arguments are as pointless as they are unhelpful. There are shades of accuracy- state-controlled media often ranks lower than other sources on topics in which the state has a vested interest.

When the state can control (subvert) media without public knowledge then how do you determine accuracy?

Consume multiple sources which are subject to forces with different incentives. All information is wrong, some is useful, and not everything is wrong in the same direction.
