It'd be nice if the "journalist" at CNN had the same kind of integrity.
- NicoJuicy 5y agoCNN is not a state owned propaganda machine.
- gadders 5y agoI think the accusation would be that it is party-owned.
- NicoJuicy 5y agoCNN is also not party owned... It may have similar views to eg. democrats, but that's not even remotely similar. Eg. They aired unedited coverages of many of the Trump campaign rallies. Show me one 'Ukraine is in war' topic in RT and Russia invaded Ukraine. Which is literally what happened. Note: Yeah, thought so.
- logicchains 5y ago>Show me one 'Ukraine is in war' topic in RT and Russia invaded Ukraine. Which is literally what happened. Show me one "How NATO's push eastward scared Russia into war" on CNN.
- _kbh_ 5y agoIs this why they invaded Georgia in 2008?. Russia sure as a habit of invading former soviet states them claiming some rubbish as a justification why.
- foverzar 5y agoHow does Georgian invasion of South Ossetia, protected by Russia under Sochi agreement, constitute as "rubbish justification"?
- lawn 5y agoUkraine is in fact in war, and it was not NATOs push eastward that forced Russia into war. So they're not at all the same.
- david422 5y agoRussia is doing whatever it wants and then putting the blame elsewhere. The responsibility lies 100% with Russia.
- myko 5y ago> Show me one "How NATO's push eastward scared Russia into war" on CNN. The only time this comes up on CNN is when they show Putin saying it and talk about what a bullshit lie it is. The fact is Putin wants to reestablish the Russian Empire. This was just one of the myriad excuses he used to invade. Repeating it is repeating Putin's propaganda, which is the job of his propaganda groups RT/Sputnik/etc
- foverzar 5y ago> talk about what a bullshit lie it is And everyone happily consumes this, as no one has their own opinion anymore. Doesn't make it less of a concern from security perspective of Russia. Frankly, this kind of chauvinistic attitude is one of the main actual reasons of why Russian-Western relations had degraded to this point. All of this had already been predicted by political experts all over the world almost 20 years ago. > The fact is Putin wants to reestablish the Russian Empire Please don't state such ridiculous assertions as facts.
- NicoJuicy 5y agoDegraded relations because of testing war responses from Russia, hacking everything except Russian keyboard, actually invading Europe now and 8 years ago could have something to do with it though. Those warnings were indeed mentioned more than 20 years ago, that is correct. The rest is bs.

- dreig 5y agoHow convenient. What was Russia's excuse before NATO was created? Do you really think that if NATO did not exist that Putin would keep it in its borders?
- foverzar 5y agoPutin wouldn't even be a thing, and modern world would be vastly different, if NATO did not exist. > What was Russia's excuse before NATO was created? Excuse for what? What are you even talking about? Do you even know what NATO is and when and how it was formed?
- dreig 5y ago> Putin wouldn't even be a thing, and modern world would be vastly different, if NATO did not exist. You're right, it would be different. Russia would be all over the Baltics, Finland, parts of Poland and Romania, performing special peacekeeping operations. > Excuse for what? Excuse for attacking and occupying neighboring countries. Russia's track record goes back in history much further than 1949.
- foverzar 5y ago> Russia would be all over the Baltics, Finland, parts of Poland and Romania, performing special peacekeeping operations. Maybe, maybe not. There would probably be no point in peacekeeping operations if there was no transcontinental military industrial complex as a factor for geopolitical destabilization. > Russia's track record goes back in history much further than 1949 Considering the historic period you are referring to, Russian track record seems much more restrained then other superpowers rising in 20th century. Maybe you should be more specific?

But that's not the whole picture. The main reason behind this war is that Putin considers Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine as one nation, one people. In a lot of ways his actions mirror that of Adolf Hitler in the 1930s, when he wanted to unify the german people under one nation. Here's a quote from a lengthy article by Putin published last year: > I am confident that true sovereignty of Ukraine is possible only in partnership with Russia. Our spiritual, human and civilizational ties formed for centuries and have their origins in the same sources, they have been hardened by common trials, achievements and victories. Our kinship has been transmitted from generation to generation. It is in the hearts and the memory of people living in modern Russia and Ukraine, in the blood ties that unite millions of our families. Together we have always been and will be many times stronger and more successful. For we are one people. > Today, these words may be perceived by some people with hostility. They can be interpreted in many possible ways. Yet, many people will hear me. And I will say one thing – Russia has never been and will never be ”anti-Ukraine“. And what Ukraine will be – it is up to its citizens to decide. http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/66181 http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/66181
- shabier 5y ago> Eg. They aired unedited coverages of many of the Trump campaign rallies. Except when it comes to the controversial topics. CNN is everything but honest or objective
- programmarchy 5y agoRight, it’s owned by a financial elite who also have control over the state. In China and Russia, there’s a managerial class who run the state and have control over the financial elite.
- keymone 5y agoAre you for real comparing integrity of CNN and RT? Show me a single outright lie CNN published, comparable to RT publishing a story that ukrainian army crucified a child on a main square in 2014 which caused some people in russia to volunteer as fighters and cross the border with intention of killing ukrainians. Edit: here, educate yourself - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crucified_boy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crucified_boy
- pyronik19 5y agoDonald Trump colluded with the Russians to rig the 2016 election was an outright lie pumped for years on CNN on a daily basis.
- coffeeblack 5y agoSome have, not only at CNN. However, the level of propaganda on RT is very different.
