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.

    @zante

    I don’t think you actually know how it works ?

    Do you?

    Ifyou want to criticize the BBC (or other public media in the West) you’ll find a lot of reasons, but your comments here are outright Russian and Chinese propanda narratives that are blatantly false. A BBC journalist can criticize the own government. If RT or Xinhua propagandists criticize the Kremlin or the CCP, respectively, they fall out of the window or simply dissappear.

      I have only pointed out how the BBC is setup and governed. It’s a matter of public record. I’ve pointed out large media outlets are owed by the billionaire class and so have their own biases.

      You can verify everything I’ve said, or you can going around yelling Russia! China! Blatant lies !

      I don’t give a fuck, because I’m not responsible for your media literacy.

        It the context of the discussion on RT in this thread, your remarks are blatant whataboutism, exactly parroting RT’s and other propagandist’s narrative.

          So first you said they were blatant lies, and being unable to substantiate that claim you’ve moved on to “whataboutism”.

          I wonder where you will go next, when yiu read the comment I replied to and see that is specific mentions the BBC as “ reliable public broadcaster” - to which I wrote that the BBC exists at the pleasure of the British Government, who playing a significant role in appointing the Chair .

          That’s not whataboutism. That’s a reply .

          You’re obviously quite upset about something, but you’re not making a great case for yourself here .
