Evidence?

Click on the source at the bottom, the little [RT] link, which takes you to ...wait for it ...RUSSIA TIMES.

If you've been under a rock and know nothing about the Russian Federation's massive disinformation campaigns over the years, look up: russian disinformation

More "good guys, bad guys" thinking.

RT is Russian propaganda. No shit. They aren't trying to hide it, and they never have.

The key is the willingness to read their propaganda, then read our propaganda (NYT, WaPo, NPR, MSM, etc) and work to figure out what's going on. The idea that Russians have propaganda and we have "news" has been thoroughly destroyed in the past 8 years. You want disinformation? 50+ US intelligence operatives sign a letter in 2020 declaring that Hunter Biden's laptop is "Russian Disinformation". In case you haven't heard, Hunter Biden himself acknowledged the laptop was his earlier this year.

The point is not that Russian sources are right and those in the US are wrong, rather that naming one "disinformation" without pointing out that both are propaganda organs (Google and RT) is disingenuous, to put it mildly.

I don't refer to good, bad, right, wrong, or other news sources.

I refer to RT's obvious promotion of lies.

Indeed, if you are concerned about other news sources promoting lies (even if they don't), then you are of course disappointed that RT's lies are supported on Saidit. Good to see we agree on that.
