the radlib moderators are slowly turnning lemmy.ml into reddit when they claim these topics are only divisive rage-bait posting and start banning people because of it.
the only difference between the content of RT or Sputnik compared to wikipedia, cnn, fox news, npr, abc, cbc, bbc, le monde and der speigel is their sources – the former get their propaganda directly from the state whereas the latter gets their propaganda from ngo’s that are transparently funded by the state department of the united states.
this isn’t conjecture – it’s a decades long well documented phenomenon – and calling out one side while not calling the other is the pot calling the kettle black at best and ordinary plain-jane ignorance at the worst.
