True it is biased and it has an agenda. But the same is true of other media such as al-jazeera. and when a republican is in power, also all the western media except for FOX news.Novus America wrote: Sure there is a horseshoe of left and far right willing to trash the west and extoll Russia, and RT will take ANYONE willing to trash the west and extoll Russia, regardless of their other positions. Without any real attempt at fact checking because that is irrelevant. It merely exists to muddy the waters, and thus is not useful for clarification of what is actually happening.
I realize that but the problem is that CNN and the western media is the same regarding the DNC and the west's technocrats.
Just because a point of view is pro-Russia does not mean it is propaganda.
Someone like Ansarre could profit from alternative points of view.
Simply having both “left” and “right” does not make it balanced as it still requires a certain political agenda.
Bringing on a far right guy to trash the west followed by a far right guy to trashed the west is not a balance because it still only shows one side of a particular point.
Sure CNN and Fox News are biased but it is a bit different in that they are not state propaganda outlets with as specific a mission.
And propaganda does not make it necessarily false, but RT does not really have high standards of integrity. It is not merely pro Russia, it exists solely to push the Russian government’s agenda.
