I can understand literal propaganda outlets, government run news from countries we know have their orgs run with specific orders to run whatever stories would be an obvious thing to want to curtail here. I used to check into RT and all I'd see are anti-american stories or even using Americans to tell an anti-american government story from someone like Abby Martin. I can't imagine we'd be getting any news from say North Korean news outlets that isn't specifically meant to manipulate foreign countries citizens.

Tiktoc isn't really news, it's more like YouTube. If anything I'd say assholes like Zuckerberg lobby the government to kill foreign competitors in our market which is a whole nother issue that also sucks :(
