I know about Whataboutism. Thanks. It’s a perfectly reasonable rthetorical strategy.[1][2]
You are engaging in the logical fallacy of making a true statement about fascist dictatorships which is skewed to, by implicit comparison, imply that the thing in question is the case elsewhere (elsewhere here being liberal democracies because that’s the most common comparison and also where most people in these discussions live). Media in liberal democracies do not reflect the diversity of their people, no.

[2] How do I know? Because it’s the only reply you get 90% of the time when replying to these kinds of statements.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine is just as colonialist as the US invasion of Iraq.
They’re both colonialist wars. Do you have a point or are you just fishing for a particular response?
