You seem familiar somehow
Plurality of views, libs should be happy they can access censored media posted by dissidents who could face arrest for it in Europe. Yet they are for some reason incredibly mad about it, could it be that they lie about the freeze peach?
Umm… censored media? More like Russian propaganda. And yes, I am aware that western propaganda exists and we consume it nevertheless. As far as I’m concerned the Russian interest to destabilize Europe (which is of course a reasonable thing to want on their side) is real and should not have a free pass. But you do you, just don’t frame it as west bad for censorship. How much of western media is freely accessible in Russia?
It seems like the West – especially the united states – gets firehosed propaganda from everywhere constantly, but it’s divided into tiny and easy to miss pieces w each piece getting dispensed from CNN, fox, NPR, BBC, le monde, der Spiegel, etc or in movies and in pop culture.
Outside the west, they have a dedicated propaganda channels that serve the same function that fox news does for americans so it’s easily disregarded.
Also: Western media is spoonfed to foreign audiences partially for the same reasons americans want to access it; but primarily as a means to inject pro-western narratives through non-governmental agencies like the national endowment for democracy; radio free Asia; USAID; etc. Also, in many cases local media sources themselves are captured by various means and end up becoming pro-western propaganda peddlers themselves.
a very recent and embarrassingly transparent example of this happened recently in Mexico, targeting President Sheinbaum. The tv station named “tv azteca” is owned by a trump ally and they coordinated efforts w the american non-governmental agencies in Mexico to start another “genz revolution” like the agencies did in Nepal a year before.
Cases like Mexico prove that the us empire is in decline, but cases like Nepal or Ukraine prove that it’s still capable of doing a lot of damage on its way out.
Welcome!
Ah the famous places to read fascist propaganda from autoritarian oligarchy! ♥️
I swear to god westoids learn a new word from some guru and use it ad nauseam til the end of time
While you’re here, I’d like to ask you a couple of questions:
-
What do you propose a state do when the most prolific invader in the world tries to amass military personnel and weapons on its border, especially by doing a coup against a neighbouring state.
-
What criticism of Russia do you have that doesn’t apply to the polities that you support?
-
Very refreshing when coming from places where they read capitalist/imperialist propaganda dubbed “the free press” in the authoritarian west! 🥰
You know, shit coming out of different assess is still shit.
-you, look at a shitting ass and a frozen yogurt dispenser and seeing two shitting asses
let’s not act like propaganda isn’t propaganda, it just happens that RT tells the truth about the west most of the time and libs really hate that.
But which one is chocolate and which one is vanilla
Show me what you think isnt propaganda and I’ll tell you an old Soviet joke about KGB and CIA
My whataboutismeter is overloading, stop.
Both RT and TASS have a recorded continuous history of verifiable lies. TASS - since before most of posters here were born.
Reports from RT and TASS frequently diverge from those of Western and Ukrainian sources. This divergence is often characterized by contradictory factual claims rather than a binary of “truth” versus “lies.” The continuous nature of these contradictions aligns with the operational pattern of state media during information warfare, where narrative consistency with official policy is the primary objective. The organizations generally view their work as exposing the hypocrisy of Western narratives rather than engaging in an absolute pursuit of objective fact as defined by adversarial standards.
Media analysis is deeply subjective and context-dependent. The assessment of whether reports constitute “lies” is highly politicized, as different entities apply different standards of evidence and adhere to varying frameworks of international law and fact-checking.
Freaking epic whataboutismerino
No no I’d really love to hear about the litany of their crimes. I actually enjoy criticizing both sides of the media (not just reciting Reddit-ass cliches), but the thing is you have to come at it from an entirely different angle. If I ran RT & TASS they would be reposting Shehab News & Hezbollah statements, not sheepdipping US spies before they go & infiltrate Iran. It is important to acknowledge why these institutions in semi-peripheral countries are vulnerable to the larger intellectual apparatus of journalism, polisci, intl. relations, & economics, why they think they can make the western system work for them when it’s impossible.
They’re still a net positive & liberals are not fooling anyone with this. It’s about maintaining a monopoly on Africa’s media. That’s the really sore spot between Russian & Chinese media & the west I think.
Let’s go through their heinous acts & explore whether these justify maintaining the CIA’s iron grip on the discourse by shunning all foreign views. Better yet, name a country that isn’t run by the CIA which puts out media you actually think isn’t evil.
My whataboutismeter is overloading, stop.
People who genuinely believe that invoking the word ‘whataboutism’ is a serious argument, or that what they call ‘whataboutism’ (i.e. pointing out hypocrisy) is a fallacy are silly.
Oh boy, Fox News, and CNN, but now it’s Russian!
I’m out of the loop, when did you guys stop glazing CNN?
Weird how you never propose to ban NATO’s news platforms. Only the platforms of your empire’s designated enemies.
why should we ban posting slop in c/slop?
