- linkregister 9y agoThis is actually a bad example, as NPR has criticized plenty of U.S. government officials. It was especially inflammatory about the NSA. I think you should instead use the Voice of America news agency instead, it is overtly an American propaganda arm, used for the same purpose as Sputnik, and as RT is used de-facto.

- grandalf 9y agoI meant RT articles.
- aalleavitch 9y agoWhy would I repost RT articles? Unless you specifically want me to increase their visibility? Just read these articles and they'll lead to plenty of examples.
