RT is known for giving Nazis like Caleb Maupin a platform so I can’t trust them, similar with Press TV and their platforming of the pedophile Jason Unruhe. These are both state medias for right-wing reactionary authoritarian countries that just hate America out of convenience and don’t care who’s spewing shit from their particular tube.

They inherently have agenda. Literally the whole reason why anyone funds this is to modify your opinion to how they want it to be. Russian strategy is to support any movement or idea that causes chaos and disolution into smaller pieces of the west, hence funding people like Le Pen etc. Which may be in interest of western left but realize this aliance is temporary and ultimately aimed against you.
Also they had a serious politics interview with jreg. I cant take them seriously after that.

International news is reliably covered by news agencies: AP, Xinhua, and Reuters, to name a few. For analysis, investigations and long-form content, follow newspapers and news magazines (WaPo, NYT, WSJ, The Economist, The Diplomat, The Nation). You should learn how to quickly sift through garbage news.

There are a few leftist voices on RT that i find very respectable, so RT gets credit for hiring these people. I don't have any delusions about RT's motives, they hire people that criticize western powers, but that's ok , you have to go to other sources to find criticism about Russia. That would actually be the job of western news platforms but since they banished all the leftists they don't have any i could listen too, liberals have become unbearable war-hawks.

It's literally the Russian government's state-owned media/propaganda organ. So take it with a big grain of соль. That said, a state-run media organ can still get the truth out on its enemies. It gives various leftists who are blacklisted by many western outlets such as Zizek and Chris Hedges, a platform which is good. So long as they don't bite the hand that feeds them of course.

>>659698 >Do you trust them? Don't "trust" any media period. All media belonging to absolutely any force is at the end of the day pushing some kind of agenda, marketing, whatever. All news is propaganda. This is also true of socialist states, taking old Peking review or Pravda public narratives at face value will lead to radical confusion in the long run & the kind of mess we're stuck in now.
The public face of course needs to be different to the private face. Inner vs out track narratives, etc. Too many people don't understand the difference between high vs low politics, surface vs deep narratives etc.
I'd sooner put stock in a narrative from RT or Press TV than the BBC/CNN or whatever though, sure, but that has nothing to do with them "being more honest" or lying less & everything to do with aligning of short/medium term geopolitical interests.
