No shit, but every story covered by any outlet reflects a fucking agenda, that's the point of propaganda.

That still doesn't explain the apologist tankie dumpster fire happening in these comments.

Seriously, what does it take in someone's brain to switch and go "I know, today I'll make excuses for an evil authoritarian regime!", and what does it take to then be a level down and make excuses for them?

Not all news is propaganda. But yes, every news outlet has a particular viewpoint they are reporting from. For some that shines through stronger than others. Awareness of what that viewpoint is and what their goals are is an important part of media literacy. I don’t see discussions on that as making excuses for anyone, it’s just useful information.
