I honestly don't see the difference between some guy on X and some guy who has
"reporter" as his job title and works for a media company.

I'll admit that there is a little difference between the above 2 options and
an official website for a government agency, but still, not that much
difference. Biden's WH website had tons of misinformation on it (I still have
the screenshots.)

I was driving up my dad's street the other day and I noticed that a house was
torn down. That's factual news that I can share with people. My kid's homework
assignment was to write a paper about "how immigrants help people." That's
propaganda that I can complain about. OTOH: There's a video circulating of
some Democrats allegedly causing a disturbance outside an ICE facility. I
didn't see the whole video, so I can't say with confidence that they did
anything wrong (other than being Democrats.)
