>And here’s CGTN’s article That's GlobalTimes. I know they are both state media, but we are talking CGTN here. > citing Russia media outlets and officials I bet I can find them quoting US or Ukrainian media outlets and officials too. Should media not report what countries fighting a war claim? It's not like Western media consistently gets it right (e.g. deaths on snake island) by reporting only the pro-Ukrainian side. > They peddle Russia’s claim that US has bioweapons Why link to Newsweek instead of the actual CGTN post? I am less interested what Western media claims CGTN says than proof of what they actually say.

Indeed I mixed up CGTN and GlobalTimes. But, hey, the CGTN post is very easy to find, given the Newsweek article: https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=CGTN+russia+Igor+Konashenkov https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=CGTN+russia+Igor+Konashenkov

> It's not like Western media consistently gets it right (e.g. deaths on snake island) by reporting only the pro-Ukrainian side. You're acting like an anti-Ukrainian position exists, to be discussed. What position other than pro-victim would you like to see reported on, please? It seems like you're very new here, and the only thing you've discussed is the Russia situation, or trying to make it look like it's reasonable to listen to state media to learn what's happening, by contrasting state propaganda to a disgraced magazine that was sold for a dollar to the daily beast ten years ago, then to religious extremists Russia has invaded another country without provocation, and is shelling civilians, children's schools, hospitals, and grocery lines. What pro-Russian spin would you like to see, specifically, please, new anonymous account? Thanks. ---- An aside: I am of the opinion that if websites like Facebook and Twitter don't get their fake account problem under control, laws will be coming to do it for them, and if those laws are written by politicians, it's going to go really badly for UGC websites
