They are publishing pro Russian propaganda, for sure. This being said, I wonder if it's wise to silence them? Knowing what your opponent thinks (or likes people to think) might be useful. Know your enemy and all that. Then there is freedom of speech aspect. Are not lies within that? Yes, the Russian hardly make the same concessions, but maybe we should? An honest question, for I don't know the answer.

> Knowing what your opponent thinks In this case, it's more about what the opponent wants its mind-controlled masses to think. I don't think anyone in Russia is privy to Putin's thinking; especially via a news broadcast. That said, in general, I agree. Russia is a shining example of where censorship gets you.

The English language version of RT is not broadcast into Russia, and it's programming is significantly different from local Russian news.

  Chinas CGTN english channel is the same. The version you get inside China is very different to the international version.

  Strange enough, Spanish version of RT is very social issue orientated and probably people who watch English version would describe them as "social justice warriors".

    meanwhile, on RT.com > How the Woke stole Christmas (not from RT though). Snowperson, no Santa or Rudolph the Reindeer, woke-implied gifts… This is Christmas the ‘Cancel edition’ you could be having. Or you could question more and stick with RT. It’s your call. https://mobile.twitter.com/rt_com/status/1474243438552006659?lang=en https://mobile.twitter.com/rt_com/status/1474243438552006659...

      Just a counter example from Spanish version: https://actualidad.rt.com/tag/Feminismo https://actualidad.rt.com/tag/Feminismo Very favourable coverage of typical social justice issues but I don't read their online paper. I knew what English version is about very well, but because I was stuck with covid on hotel and had nothing else to watch so it surprised me.

After seeing what Fox did to rot boomer minds, how can one in good faith make a statement like this.
