A government mouthpiece is a pejorative term for media outlets which are widely viewed as being an accessory to an oppressive government as well as its propaganda. Such media networks are typically criticized for taking government statements at face value without challenging their positions. Critics of such networks may criticize such networks as being a mimicker or parrot of whatever the government may say. Such lack of media independence is subsequently said to result in media that is biased, and hence cannot be trusted.[1][2]
