RT is completely propaganda

RT is completely propaganda.
everything they post is incredibly biased and is filtered through a pro-russian sentiment.

I challenge you to find 1 article on RT site that says Russian might have done something wrong.

probably has something to do with its being owned and operated by the russian state

...

YA DONT SAY?

It's still probably the best broadcaster of international news, current affairs and documentaries around. I understand the bias of coverage of domestic affairs however you literally cannot name a better broadcaster.

Al Jezeera probably comes a distant second.

rt.com
cnn.com

I though they stopped paying you CTR guys?

RT is propaganda, everyone knows it— what's interesting is that Russia is actually taking ground from America on the propaganda front.

Am I alone in sorta liking Press TV?

Why though. It's all made up. After living in Asia for a while it was a little shocking how full of shit our media was. We're all totally propagandized.

RT covers domestic American news better than anyone, but their coverage of shit going on anywhere else in the world is comically pro-Russian. Really impossible to find unbiased news. You need to understand ir/geopolitics(Marxism is helpful) and follow several news sources while understanding their biases to get a real sense of what's going on. Getting news from the sources rather than cable news is best. Always understand there are no good guys and that nations act in the interests of their national bourgeoisie.

Never seen it but it sounds interesting being Iranian based. Is it mainly a youtube thing? Or is it broadcast internationally?

The difference is that they openly admit that they get all their money straight from the Kremlin and will therefore have a pro-Russian outlook on the world. They don't hide it.

CNN, BBC etc. however claim to have this higher standard of an independent, neutral news outlet that's supposed to portray varying opinion which is clearly not the case because they are even worse in their bias than RT.

That's why RT rocks and haters can go back to reddit

Which makes it ok somehow? Being anti-imperialist doesn't mean that you have to suck Putin cock you know.

It's like you tried but gave up

I'd still rather have someone talking straight to my face whose wine they drink instead of those sneaky, slimey bunch of liberal "journalists" that claim to have the moral highground and spaz out about muh freedom of press.

I know RT and Putin are not left-wing, but they more often report positively about genuine left-wing movements and seem to have no bias towards alternatives while the liberal MSM is literally buried under a dung heap of ideology.

Protip OP. So is BBC. So is CNN.

Only when it suits their agenda

So? The Western media only reports positively on genuine left-wing movements when it suits their agenda too. Hell, their even more likely to be hostile because they are the class enemy of Western proles (and those targeted by Western imperialism). If pussy riot was American and did the same shit they did in Russia in Washington DC the media would've clapped their tits off and screamed "lock them up!"

RT isn't going to tell you the truth if it conflicts with their interest, but neither is the rest of the so-called "private" Western media or even "global-south" oriented Al-Jazeera for that matter.

I don't think that's a fair assessment. Communist Party of Russia is, even though being opposition, not discredited or smeared but respected as a genuine opposition by the state media (something that can not be said about the western media regarding their coverage of radical leftism).

The only opposition Russian state media shits upon are neoliberal oligarchs shilling for the West like Khodorkovsky of which I have no problem with.

It's called RUSSIA TODAY!

FFS, why do people think we can ever be allies with a country that is still currently engaged in expansionist practices?

Yes i am well aware they are biased OP, but thank you. I just happen to agree more with their agenda than the western media agenda.

Yes, all organizations have agendas, this is correct…
And?

You love buying NATO memes, don't you? Seriously, there is no indication whatsoever that Russia is actually expansionist. Not wanting to get fucked in the ass by NATO is not expansionist. Hell, they'd be happy if they would be able to solve the problems on their own soil which is already the biggest country in the world.

...

I used to work for NATO so believe me I know they're full of shit.

But come on, aren't they involved inSyria to stop a second western owned pipeline to the west European market.

It's stupid shit like this that makes me realize socialism in one country might be right

that's because they're not opposition, they're the left wing of United Russia (and by """""left""""" I mean pro-imperialism clerical fascists who are for bourgeoisie welfare)

Even just information on Europe is terrible. Not sure if it's really full of shit or just so over simplified and lacking in nuance that it all becomes useless.

Fuck off Ivan

Fuck off corruption lover

There are no good guys or bad guys in this world kiddo. Learn to Realpolitik

...

Oh yes there are. And i know damn well which side of the barricade i'm on.

Do you?

like usa and israel?

Russian State run Propaganda firms aren't even closely comparable to the Propaganda that other news sources put out.

Sure, but you need to know how people are mislead, what they are made to think.

this is a 10/10 meme right there

It's not completely propaganda. I don't believe their bullshit when Russia is concerned, I only watch it for political news about EU and US, stuff that's often unreported in Western media.

yeah so it's just like every other news outlet from every other country

you people still haven't given me an answer.

Find 1 article on RT that says Russia might have done something wrong.

protip: you can't.

This.

I find it humorous how the "neo left" no longer seemingly feel the same deep attachment to the motherland as their older komrades. ==Better DEAD than bolschewismus==

Newfag spotted

when are you idiots going to realize that the bolshevik jews are the ones who ruined Communism for you faggots?

...

they're biased, but they give voice to american dissidents. Sorta like how germany imported lenin back into russia. if the world was far the dissidents could have a legitimate platform to voice their views, but its not so there's nothing wrong with them making due with what they got.

Its Russian news is propaganda but its US news is pretty top tier.

American media is a lot worse than RT, that's for sure.

I'm ashamed of you OP

then prove it. I dare you to find one article that criticizes Russia.

You can find plenty of articles that criticize "the communist past" on RT tbh. That kind of "criticism" fulfills the anti-communist inclinations of its leaders but its often a bit less rabid then in the Western media cause its ruling class would be tarred by association. You can probably find a few that also criticize the Yeltsin/Gorbachev era–with some justification. I would dare you to find a single article in the mainstream US media that criticizes the US in a fundamental way, I wonder if you can find a single article on the Clinton News Network where the author uses the phrase "US imperialism" without quoting or alluding to the alleged views of someone else. RT and the Western media play a similar game in this respect, criticism but in a narrow way when it comes to their own interests.

I preferred the 'bolshevik jews' under Lenin over the purged bolsheviks under Stalin.

why would a newsmedia outlet owned by the russian state criticise russia? does this honestly surprise you?

...

Russia has the whole world criticising them, they're in bunker mode as they feel cornered.
I don't remember American media being very critical when they go to war.

No shit.

I think the fact that the USA and NATO are physically cornering them with army bases is more of it. Russia has completely lost its sphere of influence, which is partly the reason it took the Krim, both tactically and to show the world they shouldn't fuck with them.

Cornering them into what?

I love how they completely exposed the EU as bluffers with that move.

Also the US media coverage of Castro shows how biased they are too. Completely one sided.

...

Not Fox. they have been talking about how horrible he was all the time.

I only know the videos and those are mostly without any comment and often without any cuts. How is this supposed to be propaganda? It just shows how things are.

Spot on mate. RT promotes Leftist struggle in America ONLY for the benefit of Russia.

wow really made me think.

into a corner

...

at least it's better than most american media

pathetic

Why all the Russo-Phobia
