Do any of you use Ground.news? It’s pretty great at finding multiple sources of information on the same topic and helping to compare biases. Sometime in the not-too-distant past they stopped including articles from RT.com. I’m not really sure why. I found it really helpful when people would post from the Russian government news agency and show them other sides of the story, or when they actually posted decent stuff, share it from something that isn’t so often crap.
It the context of the discussion on RT in this thread, your remarks are blatant whataboutism, exactly parroting RT’s and other propagandist’s narrative.
So first you said they were blatant lies, and being unable to substantiate that claim you’ve moved on to “whataboutism”.
I wonder where you will go next, when yiu read the comment I replied to and see that is specific mentions the BBC as “ reliable public broadcaster” - to which I wrote that the BBC exists at the pleasure of the British Government, who playing a significant role in appointing the Chair .
That’s not whataboutism. That’s a reply .
You’re obviously quite upset about something, but you’re not making a great case for yourself here .
