Why are you posting an article from rt.com?

It's formerly "Russia Today", and is still funded by the Russian government. It's propaganda, not news.

You might as well be posting something from the Global Times (a Chinese propaganda site).

It's fine to point that out possible and likely bias - but linking to it isn't a problem.

The pedes here can make up their own minds about whether to read it, etc.

If I hadn't posted a comment, how many pedes would have known it was Russian propaganda?

And, look at how many downvotes I've gotten for pointing out that it's a propaganda site. It looks like those pedes have made up their minds: Russian propaganda is OK as long as they agree with it.

Good article explaining the Streisand Effect and gives a few examples. Concluding that censorship is wrong, in any form or fashion.

Yeah, sounds terribly Russian to me.

It hasn't occurred to you that Russia might have an ulterior motive?

Their goal is to stir up trouble in the US. And you are falling for it, hook, line, and sinker.

Calm down killer. Article is straight forward and a good read on the current state of tech censorship.

Even cnn gets an article right once a year. I no longer watch ANY mainstream news not even Fox(stopped watching them back when they constantly shit all over Ron Paul in favor of Bush Jr). And cancelled cable. Now its only clips here and there to study up on an issue.

When I do watch news clips on a particular issue, I watch it all. Canadian, Australian, Russian, Polish, Brazilian, Italian. Shit I even watch Al Jazeera.

You have to find out the biases of every country's news outlets. The truth is somewhere in the middle.

This is extremely eye-opening. After you do it for a while and talk to norms that still watch US-TV and are plugged into their pipeline of half-lies you start to become very afraid of how stupid they all are. Any kind of democratic government devolves into a shitshow when the voting public is misinformed or uninformed.

There are dozens of articles on the video, both pro and con, published in the US. There's no need to promote an article from a known foreign propaganda site.

Yeah, I know: CNN, NBC, CBS, etc. are US propaganda sites, too (see my username).
