Do any of you use Ground.news? It’s pretty great at finding multiple sources of information on the same topic and helping to compare biases. Sometime in the not-too-distant past they stopped including articles from RT.com. I’m not really sure why. I found it really helpful when people would post from the Russian government news agency and show them other sides of the story, or when they actually posted decent stuff, share it from something that isn’t so often crap.
@fu RT is literally state propaganda of Russia. With lots of fake news and half coverage about anything. If you’d ask me to choose 2 news sources to get rid of from the face of the planet, they would be RT and Sputnik. They’re not just propaganda about Russia (which is what TASS and other state media agencies are), they’re simply Russian propaganda about anything.
@petrescatraian OK sure, but that doesn’t address the issue of Ground.news not wanting to include it. Maybe theRussian government asked them to?
The Russian regime would be more than happy to have their propaganda outlets branded “news”. But it’s not. And since it’s not a source of news, there’s no reason for Ground News to include it.
Besides which, RT has been sanctioned in the response to the Russian full scale invasion of Ukraine. This makes it difficult to maintain a business relationship, which linking might very well be.
@fu I do think it’s Ground News who decided to cut it. I don’t think Russia would be sad if they receive any exposure at all. Not really sure, but probably they wanted to set a threshold on how much of the propaganda/bias they would allow on their platform at all.
idk, my 2c.
