"How do you arrive at the claim that my link is state-sponsored propaganda and yours are not?"
Sure, there's no such things as objective mass media, all of them shine a light from slightly different angles to support their agenda and please investors, but I'm not aware of such straightforward, blatant lies that Russian TV (e.g. RT) shows daily on western counterparts. Publicly crucified boy, pictures from Syria, beyond funny photoshop of Ukrainian fighter jet downing MH17 etc. All these" stories" were really shown on official Russian TV. Now please provide such obvious propaganda statements from reputable western sources. "We lie, because they lie" is the exact statement Russia propaganda wants you to believe.

Furthermore, you could find alternative opinions and doubts even then, while in Russia any voice that goes against the official propaganda gets silenced fast. It's not quite the same as staging video reports, lying or photoshopping photos.
