To be honest I have never dived into the drama and don’t read either of them. I’m just interested why they are hated so much in our circles, yet loved by the more right leaning ones.

As others have said they are straight-up anticommunist propaganda financed by the US government.
I would like to plug this thread to mention that there’s hardly any unbiased news sources. To the point where one should probably tend to pore through news sources who are upfront about their biases, so that it’s easier to sift fact from propaganda.
The US and UK have really turned this into a science: Establish NGOs that rely on funding from US/UK funding. Smear other state news agencies as propaganda outlets. Smear non-state news agencies as supportive of “regimes”. Then take over the narrative in any country.
This way of doing things has been adopted by many corporations and billionaires lately. They either directly buy news organizations, or they make them reliant on “charity” funding from them, then turn them into their stenographers. George Soros has been doing this for years in an effort to push pro-West propaganda. Bill Gates has been doing this through his foundation to push the profit-ization of climate change and for privatizing healthcare and education. Blackrock has been doing it to push the identity politics culture wars.
