Poutine: « Les élites deviennent folles. L’Occident pervertit ses enfants avec la pédophilie comme norme ».

Has the US responded to the Russian bounties on American soldiers in Syria yet?

What on earth would prevent us from doing so?

Hi, I sometimes use Ruptly as a source because they often cover stuff like strikes, antifascist (counter-)demos, riots etc that other media ignore, even if it’s in their own countries. 

Yes, of course I know Ruptly is part of Russia Times and therefore everything they report on should be looked at with the knowledge that they have a clear Russian state bias. Of course, this goes for any news source, you should always consider the bias of the source you’re getting your news from, even if RT is way worse of course than many others. 

That said, while RT and Ruptly probably report on demonstrations, labor protests and antifascist stuff because it makes the EU and the US look unstable or internally divided and stuff like that, that doesn’t mean that those protests/demos/riots aren’t real or important! You just have to keep a skeptical eye out for when they start editorialising, because RT (and many others) are full of shit.

Like, don’t watch fox or cnn without taking into account their american bias, and their us partisan bias. Don’t use BBC without acknowledging their British bias and their pathological need to seem balanced, don’t watch AFP without remembering theyre french and have no problem with french colonialism, don’t watch NOS without remembering their Dutch state/Dutch royalty bias, don’t watch al-jazeera without keeping in mind they’re funded by Qatar, etc. 

This should be basic media literacy, but I only get people trying to be clever on my posts about RT, for some reason. also, keep in mind that most of these news sources benefit by supporting the status quo of liberal capitalism, because that is the system they are working in and making their money from.

As Ukraine successfully pushes back invading forces, OAN is staying faithful to the Russian state propaganda edifice.

OAN is spoon-feeding its viewers Kremlin-backed war propaganda and reports from the state-owned network Ruptly. Recently, the far-right network portrayed the sham referendum and illegal annexation of Ukrainian territories as legitimate; accused the U.S. and Ukraine, without evidence, of sabotaging the Nord Stream gas pipeline and bombing Crimea’s Kerch bridge; aired antisemitic conspiracy theories about Western globalists trying to control Russia; and claimed Ukraine is dangerously escalating the war simply by defending its territory.
