As I've said before, people who worked for RT complain about how strict they are about ensuring news is accurate. We also have the fact that no one's found any fake news from RT.
And I see no one took me up on my offer to refute the 'fake news' articles previously posted about RT by reposting them.
-------------------- I am in a minority on the shroomery, as I frequently defend the opposing side when they have a point about something or when my side make believes something about them. I also attack my side if I think they're wrong. People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.

Why don't you post one of the claims from your link then?

I donβt see what you hope to gain by claiming RT is the pinnacle of journalistic integrity, other than to sink your credibility here even farther.
US media is deferential to the US state. British media is deferential to the British state. Russian media is deferential to the Russian state.

I don't think he's repeating that for us. It's likely for any randoms who don't know better yet. It looks like a 'gotcha' without context and he's well aware that most casual people just read the headline.

There is a high degree of truth to that....I do belive its even higher when news is controlled/ implemented by the state.....historically, Russia has a long track record of this, its not like this is a new thing.
I will admitt the line can become blurry when it seems current Congressman/woman have everything but an active contract, say, like with Fox News, or a dedicated spot in the news cycle with them.
I always wondered if the US media as a whole, critiques news/ a government stance contrary to said government narrative, more than any other media outlet in the world does for their own government(s).

Yea that's the thing. As true a statement as 'US media is deferential to the state' is, it is simultaneously extremely partisan media that (while claiming to be fair and balanced) is constantly attacking the other political side.
Is there any news outlet in Russia comparable to RT that is pro-Navalny?

Apparently not, I tried and failed to find it, but if anyone finds it, I'll discuss it.

I don't recall saying they the pinnacle of journalistic integrity, I said no one here has been able to find and fake news from them. If you have some, please share it, otherwise, I accept your apology.

Obviously. And I've said that many times.

There are, or at least there were back in 2017 when I visited.

The title of this thread is just awesome. It is so blatantly ridiculous, it's as sad as it is telling. You folks are Zombies.
You'd think after what the world experienced with COVID, where Liberals and Conservatives cleanly and clearly separated themselves via policies, threads like this would be relegated to comedy outlets, but alas.
This is exceedingly simple: Liberals / Democrats are and or aspire to be Despots.

I like sensationalist titles then. You people, lol! I am constantly entertained in here no matter what forum I'm in. Welcome! (are you a puppet?)
I still do not understand how in the fuck someone like santos remains in the job he's in AND is getting assignments like there's been nothing done wrong and he can be fully entrusted to do that job. I'm VERY upset that there are no laws in place for this kind of thing, oh, wait, there are laws. Laws that KEEP that person IN the job for some fucked up reason(s).

It's simple projection by that post. Obviously republicans and the religious right don't want control or anything like that because their way(s) are right and just and fair in the eyes of the lord. ANYTHING else is evil, bad and wrong. It's quite simple really.
Welcome to the shroomery!

I know, I just like watching them flounder to come up with proof of their statements.

If it were me, and I made a similar claim against DJT, I'd start by defining despot and despotism and then giving examples of why DJT is a wannabe despot.
For instance:
Despot - a ruler or other person who holds absolute power, typically one who exercises it in a cruel or oppressive way.
Despotism - the exercise of absolute power, especially in a cruel and oppressive way.
Examples of why he's a wannabe despot:
Trump claims that the president has total authority. (https://www.businessinsider.com/coronavirus-trump-claims-president-authority-is-total-2020-4)
Trump claims he has absolute immunity. (https://www.politico.com/news/2022/11/11/trump-sues-to-block-subpoena-from-house-jan-6-committee-00066606)
Trump pulls security clearances of people who are critical of him. (https://www.politico.com/news/2022/11/11/trump-sues-to-block-subpoena-from-house-jan-6-committee-00066606)
There's so much more, but as this is just an example of what I'd do if I had made a similar statement, I'll stop here.
