You have faith in the claims of the leadership of your country, as well as that of other western states, that they are acting in the general interests of promoting democracy, and not attempting to expand their sphere of influence. And you don't want to believe anyone with an outside perspective who doubts this alleged motivation of "the west". Well, faith-based position is also a position.

No, if you want it in other words, your basic views on what drives and structures Western media and Western foreign policy are so off the board that there isn't really much scope for discussion. As far as I can ascertain, you are seriously and fundamentally wrong in your basic assessment of both, but it did not seem to me to be much point in having a discussion about that. Faith doesn't enter into it.
