How does the US avoid this? Can it create a wedge between Russia and China while serving as an adversary to both? Or is the best option for the US to embrace one of the two and try to cut the other one out? And if the latter, who becomes the ally and who remains the adversary.

Nevertheless, if the US continues to treat both Russia and China as adversaries, does a Russia-China alliance eventually eclipse the US in economic and military might?

There's a reason why the highest priority of dictators and authoritarian regimes is to restrain the free press. While it is fair to ask questions about the role of the media and how to better reach the public, abandoning journalism and the organizations that support it is not the answer.

While you may not like every editorial decision, headline, tone, there are reporters out there working to speak truth to power -- to "comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable."
