There is only one way of looking at it if it is objectively true, which it is.

It's not objectively true.
Part of that statement is opinion. The other part it demonstrably false. It is not "state run". You were already presented with another view, on a matter that is opinion. There are other possibilitys.

There is no such thing as objective truth when you are talking about opinions, not facts.
Presenting your opinions as if they were objective facts is dishonest.

Your opinion and feelings are not objective.

How is it not propaganda? It is being run by the president, is it not?

Trump != state.
Those are two very different things. I'll assume you know that though, and are just playing dumb for argumentative effect.

Whether it is propaganda or not, is opinion. Trump himself likely believes everything that is said on the show. To him it is a factual information service.

If we go by the dictionary definition, it is propaganda. In the same way that Fox, BBC, NPR, and all of your preferred 'news' sources are.
But the common usage of the word propaganda implies a level of dishonesty and/or manipulation. And I assume that is how you meant it.
Whether it is dishonest is an opinion, not a fact.

An opinion I would mostly agree with, but it is false to claim that our opinions are either objective, or factual.
