A personal observation on Russia Today is full on propoganda.

in observation •  7 years ago  (edited)

Hello,

Before I get to the part where I explain why Russia Today is propoganda,
I want to state that I know they aren't the only ones.
I see CNN and other western mainstream media, including media from lots of other countries as propoganda aswell.

I read Russia Today quite often.
Even though it's clear propoganda they do come with lots of information
that other western news agency's would rather ignore or censor for obvious reasons.
I know lots of people either believe Russia Today is fake and all propoganda,
or people that read Russia Today and blindly believe anything that is written there and not looking at the full context. Mostly when it gets anti-american.

When you look at Russia Todays comment section, it is clearly full of trolls. Even when it's about a completely unrelated topic, people in the comment sections almost always talk about how bad the USA is and about zionism. Just try to find comment sections where people don't mention zionism or are not bashing on the USA or the west. You will often find these, expecially amongst international news. You can't really miss them.

However the main reason
I consider Russia Today more obvious propoganda
is because they never ever criticize putin in any way shape or
form. Not even some of his domestic policies. Not even something little,
which makes him come of as the perfect guy incapable of making a single mistake.
But they do love writing articles about him that glorify him.
Maybe that is because it's state media, instead of corporate media.

This is where I think western propoganda is more subtle,
Atleast in my country the media does put some fire under its leaders
feet on some issues, so they come of more legit.
