I am assuming that this is American bias talking? Plenty of other cultures are more trusting of government than the US’s is.

The main State-sponsored media outlet in my country is considered to be of a pretty high quality. It has some international recognition.

I’d say a fair chunk of those that actually care about media outlet trustworthiness (and aren’t just sharing whatever articles come their way barring a few outlets that are in their person blocklist) are aware of the nuances of AJ’s authority and trustworthiness. The reality is that they have built this reputation by doing heaps and heaps of good reporting, not even in spite of being state-sponsored, but really because of it. There are certain topics that you shouldn’t listen to AJ regarding. Otherwise? They do a good job.
