Friend, where are you getting your facts to compare it to? Empire controlled outlets. You can not say that a certain fact is or is not being blown out of proportion when the other source for a fact can't be trusted

I'm a military OSINT analyst, I know how to do source analysis. Russia Today is one of the worst propaganda sources out there.

For which military? A western military? Yeppers, im sure they trained you to do proper source analysis! Not like they have any incentive to alter the training to disadvantage certain sources that just so happens to go against western narratives nosir! Sure they have done a whole lot of evil things, but not ensuring their rank and file are properly trained on source analysis is where they absolutely draw the line 😁 🙄

Well at least I recognize a Russian troll when I see one.

What I do is not believing everything I see on the internet. Whenever there's an article, it can only be confirmed when there are multiple factual sources. RT is far from factual and pushes a very strong narrative. Like the Russian government. Also like Fox News, and US government. Russian independant news sources can be pretty good, but government controlled sources tend to be awful. Especially when it's about the unprovoked invasions into neighboring countries. Like Georgia and Ukraine. And the years long war which consists of insane amounts of factually confirmed horrific war crimes. Like chemical weapons for example. But hey, if you think the Russian government, which is run by an oligarch dictator, is more credible than independant news sources, they you do you!
