Would you apply the same standard to BBC? If not, what's the difference?
- dsabanin 5y agoThe difference is, RT is pure, unadulterated, lie. It's government-sponsored infowars. It's under complete control by FSB/KGB and serves exclusively as a platform for launching russian PsyOps.
- oulipo 5y agoWe do apply the same standard. It just happens that BBC is not propaganda television
- xtian 5y agoHow can you tell?
- GiorgioG 5y agoBecause the stories they tell line up (generally) with non-government controlled news media.

- shkkmo 5y agoYou know that goverents frequently distribute their propaganda through media outlets that are not state owned, right?
- GiorgioG 5y agoYou know these media outlets aren't legally required to do so, right?
- xtian 5y agoWhat if the people who own these media outlets and the people who control the government share the same interests?
- shkkmo 5y agoYou don't have to be legally required to spread propaganda to be effective at spreading it. Seriously, relying a on state media matching non-state media to determine if either is propaganda is an ineffectual strategy. You need to find reporting that contradicts the media source and then try to independently verify the disputed information.
