We all know that the west uses two different words for the same thing depending on where it is happening.

e.g. Secret Police vs Plainclothes Officer
Regime vs Government

Can we have a compilation thread of these words? I am probably using many of them unconsciously without critical examination.

Their state media vs our public media.

Well I was more thinking of the way that enemy country state media are considered nothing but propaganda, while things like the BBC are considered upstanding journalism.
