this virtue signaling doesn't apply to times of war. call me despicable all you want, but allowing enemy in your infospace unchecked is plain dumb.

there is no "enormous nazi problem in ukraine", that is literally russian propaganda. there is much larger nazi problem in russia in fact, from existence of radical far-right groups all the way up to concentration camps for gays in Chechnya. i suggest you re-evaluate your sources.

russian invasion can't be called anything other than fascist - military glorious leader annexing a chunk of neighbour's territory under justification that people there are compatriots that need saving. you can't make that shit up.

What a dumb argument. North Korea also has hospitals. Are hospitals a sign of tyrannical dictatorship? Use your brain a little, for fucks sake.

If CNN participated in a blatant propaganda - i would want to hold them accountable. I don't believe they did during Iraq war, primarily because CNN is not government owned media and they don't know what is true or not. You can blame them for not verifying stories (and there should be responsibility for that as well), but RT absolutely knows what things they report are propaganda lies and what aren't.

First of all, whataboutism.

Second, we can learn about russian propaganda stories without allowing enemy propaganda to poison gullible part of population uncontested.

it's war. just like north korea would launch missiles during war, they would block enemy propaganda during war. doing the same doesn't make you tyrannical dictatorship - it's just means of waging war. weird that i have to explain basics of logic to you. or maybe not weird at all..

> doesn't make your take any more credible

> 2) don't care to verify stories

> 3) are under the impression that being Ukrainian makes your take automatically truthful

the issue now is not "how good of a reporting does this or that media produce?" the issue is "a literal fascist government is invading a sovereign country and their propaganda machine is in full throttle mode".

Zelensky was talking about an attack that happened within hours of his message, can't blame him for fog of war. And he didn't call for violence but for response from international community, which frankly he has every right to do when fascist invaders are taking over major nuclear power plants in your country, don't you think?

You seriously bringing up that example in contrast to russian propaganda machine weaponising a completely fabricated story about crucified boy, with intention of evoking deep emotional response and getting separatists to start fighting?

There is no sociology in a dictatorship where everybody knows about repercussions of expressing an opinion that goes against their glorious leader's will.

It's censorship of enemy's propaganda vehicle. Since when is that considered "bad"?
