You should check their MH17 coverage.
- trhway 5y agoMH17 is very illustrative example in the context of OP. The MH17 coverage was a massive pure propaganda battle - no major media on either side voiced the true story (ie. the story compatible with all the related "before-the-fact" evidence). RT was doing bidding of its masters and trying to dismiss the truly obvious fact (confirmed by multiple "before-the-fact" evidence) that the rebels shot MH17 down mistaking it for Ukrainian military transport while the West media completely dismissed the fact that a bit more than 2 weeks before the MH17 the rebels captured an Ukrainian Buk launcher - that story [1] was widely publicized in Ukrainian and Russian media and confirmed by Ukrainian military at the time (i.e. "before-the-fact") - and doubled down instead on the unrealistic, yet politically very effective, theory of Russia transferring rebels a single Buk launcher "confirmed" only by the very bad grainy images surfacing only "after-the-fact" of MH17 shooting as well as dismissing various less direct evidence like the shrapnel type, related twitter posts made before-the-fact, etc. [1] https://www.ng.ru/cis/2014-07-01/1_dnr.html https://www.ng.ru/cis/2014-07-01/1_dnr.html ( i challenge you to find any mentioning of that story in West media :)
