    Just curious what people think since so much is being said about Russian misinformation.

    Do you believe that the western media is inherently more truthful than non western media and do you believe that western mainstream media are a reliable source for matters where the west has a vested interest?

    Yes, our media is much freer than one where you are likely to be assassinated for criticising Putin or Russian foreign policy.

    Ah grand, do you mean the almost ten million Ukranians in the 1930s by the way, nothing to do with WW2, everything to do with Russian policies of collectivisation and theft.

    As for going into another nation and killing wholesale, I take it you have convienently forgotten about Russia invading Afghanistan. I will dig out the number of deaths in a minute but I think it was somewhere in the order of 1.5 million.

    But hey it wasn't America who caused those deaths so you don't care, right? You only care about deaths caused by America.

    Was no Ukraine in the 1930s this was a domestic issue something they done to themselves.
    War in Afghan is still half of the number of the US in Vietnam.

    And you're basing this on what exactly?

    Not prodding you. Trying to find out why people believe what they believe.

    how many negroid king and queens die by sweat to death in hot mississippi sun to pick cotton?

    I'd sooner believe the Western media before I'd believe a man who believes the Moon landings were faked.

    Except FOX News, of course.

    Were you born yesterday? Done to themselves? :eek: Read the history, talk to Ukrainians from that time that are still alive, if any. Cynicism learned from papa Putin?

    The Holocaust was largely a domestic issue by your rationale.

    We get the picture here, Russia good guys, America bad guys. Yawn.

    Western mainstream media is pretty useless too.

    You only have to listen to the first couple of minutes of this mainstream western journalist who was bribed to write propaganda.

    Ah the RUS nations most common issue - racism.

    I remember being on business trip in 2002 in Moscow and was brought to see Red Square and first thing I noticed upon arrival was 3 Russians beating up a black foreign student, him being on ground and his head kicked. When I turned to nearby standing police guy (who obviously was enjoying watching this) I was asked to show my passport and f**k off. Savage nation with intention to bring 'their culture' to the west. :mad:

    Fox the best west news, easy to get truth.
    Believe opposite of everything they say and you know truth.

    so in other words what Stalin did is ok?

    Still using RT as a source I see. You lose all credibility when you do that you know. And you were going so well too!

    I might try and fight the clip of the RT journalist resigning live on air because she disagreed with Kremlin tactics in Ukraine.

    Yeah because this is how the media reports on this.

    We are digging back almost 100 years, it is easy to look at Russia and events in the early 19th Century and make the arguement.

    Russia are not the good guys my point is that neither is anyone else but they do not get anywhere near the kind of media attention the so called "bad guys" do.

    Make up a few more things you think I said, might make you feel better!

    Do you know the name of any Russian badly manning or Edward Snowden ? Wonder why that is?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,563 ✭✭✭dd972


    He has hundreds of military bases all over the world, he invaded Iraq, destabilised Syria, created the conditions for ISIS, caused untold death and misery in Mexico and Central America,


    ..oh hang on, no he didn't

    I know of one. Sadly even living in the west didn't save him.

    Agreed about the rest though, there's a reason we haven't heard from them.

    Maybe we are just too damn soft in the west!

    Straight from the horses mouthpiece!
    Peter Oborne resign from Daily Telegraph over HSBC scandal coverage, or the lack of.
    He say paper kill news story of advertisers bad news so they keep spend money on advertise in paper.
    It happen many time ,many scandal, many company.
    West media as corrupt as any


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,689 ✭✭✭Karl Stein

    I was half-expecting that when I posted the video. The source is the journalist. RT is merely a medium.

    He's hardly going to be welcomed onto mainstream media outlets to educate their viewers that propaganda is not just an eastern phenomenon.
    Dr. Ulfkotte says the corruption of journalists and major news outlets by the CIA is routine, accepted, and widespread in the western media, and that journalists who do not comply either cannot get jobs at any news organization, or find their careers cut short.

    Nice try but no cigar.

    Is the only defence of Putin and proof he's an ok guy that America does bad ****? Cos that's pretty much the worst case you can make .
