You literally said they aren't doing disinformation and then said the other side are. This is just whataboutsim. All sides are engaged in disinformation. What anyone else does has no bearing on what RT do. It's exactly what I described.
I literally provided examples of constant disinformation we've had in the west over the past 4 years. Yes, all sides engage in pushing their own narrative, and that's precisely why it's so dangerous to limit access to information the way EU is doing. The argument that RT is exceptionally bad in this regard so that it specifically has to be blocked has no basis.
Good thing I never made that argument. I don't agree with the ban at all.
exhibit A:
Don't see it. What part of this aligns with me thinking RT is exceptionally bad? The only opinion I put forward is that mass media is equally bad from all sources. IMO it is literally the only reason mass media exists in the first place.
You're literally saying you can see why it would be reasonable to ban a specific source. So, your whole position is self contradictory. If there is no difference in quality of media from all sources, then there is no justification for banning a specific source.
Your reading comprehension needs work. I never said that. I said I can see why you might find that problematic. It has nothing to do with my opinion.
the whole context for this thread is literally you attacking the character of the person who pointed out the draconian media suppression in EU, and then doing hand wringing to justify it. You're not fooling anybody here.
Do you know what dark MAGA is?
lmfao, can't wait for you to explain how that's relevant to the discussion about EU banning Russian media
So you don't know what their relation is to the post we are discussing?
That relation exists solely in your propagandized mind. Thank you for providing us with a concrete example of what happens to people who guzzle propaganda exclusively from western liberal media.
There is no point in having this conversation with you. Are you also on their payroll or are you just wilfully ignorant? This place is textbook controlled opposition.
I love how making personal attacks is your go to tactic when your bullshit has been laid bare. Bye troll.
