        Jesus Christ, the Russophobia is insane, great job CIA. Enjoy, your western propaganda media, but you have no right to set the precedence that it is somewhat the golden standard of reliability just because the White House told you so.

          The Slavic brainpan cannot hold disparate ideas. This proves that every one of their news outlets is propaganda (unlike those in my home country).

          I am an unbiased news consumer. smug-explain

          Obviously. Especially with their reporting on the Palestinian genocide or activism against it. So, so honest. Or the obvious western slant in like everything. Bombing sovereign countries is important and the right thing. Not informing about the extent of rising American facism. And of course, Russia bad, China bad.

          There’s better reporting out there than either Western or Russian mainstream, which both are not there to inform you, but to build narrative. If not consumed carefully, they will make you dumber in their own respective ways.

          So no, Western media is obviously not “obviously way more honest” and you believing and proclaiming that, while not your fault, is on you to inspect, Comrade.

            I’m sure somewhere there’s someone dumb enough to accept your false equivalences as fact.

            Not me. Fuck off, propagandist.

              Which part is a false equivalence? I didn’t even take a side, just showing you your own bias. But I’ll fuck right off, alright, don’t need more ignorance in my life. Propagandist, lol, dude.

          All are horrible in their own ways. The lies and omissions are equal but different.

          Admittedly, often it’s easier to spot the issues in one or the other, based on blinders and education

        AP press is not morally better. People should support independent journalism separate from all state propaganda

          Guess I could’ve been more expressive lol I just searched the title and grabbed the first non RT thing I could. The slant is everywhere, but hot damn its easy to corroborate stories regardless by looking for them in multiple locations.

            It became harder to compare with the collapse of the newspapers. I look forward to the rise of optional news gathering.
