I think the difference is that RT is literally registered as a foreign agent now, so everything they produce is actual propaganda in some form.
It doesn't mean that it is all fake news -- actually, the most dangerous articles are somewhat true but intentionally misleading or sensationalizing some component of a true story that helps Russia's cause.
- harry8 9y agoThis is precisely what people often claim of the New York Times Israel coverage. Should we de-rank it? I think the NYT is the best newspaper in the world but wouldn't dream of reading it uncritically...
- smsm42 9y ago> RT is literally registered as a foreign agent now They were forced to register, AFAIK. I'm not sure how that proves anything. I mean, I know that RT is a propaganda outlet, but them complying with some law requiring registration is not proving anything - it's like saying "you paid taxes therefore you are a spy". Total non-sequitur. > the most dangerous articles are somewhat true but intentionally misleading or sensationalizing some component Which of course US press would never dream of doing. Have you watched any news recently?
