They are censored by the Russian govt first .
  The govt that puts people in jail for criticizing their war . In our case it actually means less censorship since RT's stories are censored and approved by the Kremlin .

‘Oddly enough, if you talk to most reporters, most of the reporters I know who are giving me stories about censorship, about top-down control and all, are ex-reporters. They’re often people – I began noticing, “Well I used to work for Associated Press…”, or “Well, I used to work for CBS…” – “Well I used to…” The ones who are still in there absolutely vehemently deny that there’s any such thing like this. They get very indignant. They say: “Are you telling me that I’m not my own man? I’ll have you know that in 17 years with this paper I always say what I like.” And I say to them: “You say what you like, because they like what you say.”

‘And, you know, the minute you move too far – and you have no sensation of a restraint on your freedom. I mean, you don’t know you’re wearing a leash if you sit by the peg all day. It’s only if you then begin to wander to a prohibited perimeter that you feel the tug, you see. So you’re free because your ideological perspective is congruent with that of your boss. So you have no sensation of being at odds with your boss.‘

In other words, you have no counter-argument to why RT lets people say things that the American media doesn't. No explanation for why RT engages in less censorship than American media.

Gee, it's almost as if.. the truth being told benefits Russia, while it doesn't benefit the United States. They don't call it the 'Empire of Lies' for nothing.

When you have an opponent whose entire strategy is to just lie.. to build a glass house based on nothing but lies, then their greatest enemy is not any single one individual or country or movement, but the truth itself.

The truth is the greatest enemy of the Empire of Lies. And that is why they will allow for truth on RT, but never on establishment controlled media. One has an interest in the truth being told and the other doesn't. It really is that simple. Too bad you will deny this until the end of your existence

In the Russian argument, RT DE had already received a warning from YouTube for breaching coronavirus misinformation guidelines.

It was given a week-long suspension from posting on the platform.

During this time, RT used a second channel - Der Fehlende Part - to upload content which also violated these policies.

As a result, both were deleted by YouTube.

But the move may have repercussions.

Internet service providers in Russia can limit or block the flow of data to websites, as instructed by the government.

The state used these powers in March to restrict access to Twitter after Roskomnadzor said it failed to remove around 3,000 posts allegedly involving banned contentIn the Russian argument, RT DE had already received a warning from YouTube for breaching coronavirus misinformation guidelines.

All of this isn't to say that RT doesn't do good reporting, but to believe it is some bastion of free press, free speech, and leads the world in some sort of top tier press the rest of the world isn't capable of is hilariously retarded.
