One is a one way propaganda TV channel and the others are ways to communicate. Same can't be said.

  No, isn't exact comparison but it is the same vein. RT.com headlines have actually been relatively straight forward statement of fact with out charged language. I suspect many at the channel are against the war. They also present full or longer clips of Russian official, instead of (possibly misleading) sound bites. One doesn't have to agree with a viewpoint to find value in knowing what the other side thinks, instead of being told what they think. FOX News and MSNBC are a form of propaganda as well.

    > RT.com headlines have actually been relatively straight forward statement of fact with out charged language this is how propaganda works they tell mostly truth, but 5-10% of it of propaganda you won't notice it on first sight, otherwise you wouldn't watch it but watching it for years daily have eroded your brain already

      If your bar for “not propaganda” is 95% truthful, what news site is left that passes that test?

        >> they tell mostly truth, but 5-10% of it of propaganda > If your bar for “not propaganda” is 95% truthful, what news site is left that passes that test? You misunderstand the test. A better way to state it would be: "they tell mostly truth, but 5-10% is deliberate, institutionally-sanctioned lies." A lot of people can't seem to tell the difference between false statements and lies, and conflate the concepts all the time. Add hindsight into the mix, and it gets even worse.
