All that's present is a false dichotomy between state propaganda and corporate propaganda, and the implication that people who choose corporate propaganda are idiots. This reads as apologia for consuming state propaganda, framed as media literacy. If it's not, it needs more context.

There is no dichotomy, both RT and Western corporate media are billionaire run bullshit. Choosing one or the other is a losing game, you need to critically analyze all the information you are exposed to and cross reference.

You are talking all your biases into it and reading information that is literally not present. This is just making fun of liberals in the US who comment on lemmy threads about RT being unreliable and not much else. The implication is really that the western media is equally unreliable. You are so propagandized that the mere mention of RT makes you leap to wild conclusions.
