Trump goes on Russia-state-owned RT to slam the US media

[GMantis]

The main reason I am speaking in this particular thread is because the Russophobia American liberals have embraced bothers me: that somehow it is illegitimate act to appear as a guest on Russia Today.  That stinks of a desire to control information.

Again, this is not "Russophobia". This is not about talking on a Russian channel.  It is which Russian channel he chose. Had he come on, say,

https://tvrain.ru/

I would have had no objections

TV Rain is also, propaganda, but propaganda made by the Russian pseudo-liberals (I can not honestly call people who think that Germany winning WWII would be better liberals).

Okay...

RT was set up mainly as an international mouthpiece for Russia. It is no different from Voice of America for our country.

Alas, I have to stop reading here.

Because of course the US never lies in its propaganda arm. Are you really that naive or are you simply pretending?

Unlike you, I grew up listening to VoA, Radio Liberty, BBC Russian Service, Deutsche Welle, etc., etc.  I mean, my old Spidola short-wave radio must be still somewhere, unless I got rid of it when moving down to Mexico from the US (yes, I continued using it in the US).

This is exactly why I stopped reading where I stopped.

Yes, I know it's difficult to admit that you've been influenced by propaganda.

This, probably, describes you better than them (yes, I know, they ran a provocative poll on the issue, but at no point they implied that they themselves think that). Unlike you, they have no sympathy to Nazi-type regimes.

I would be offended by this personal insult, but then I realized that you probably have a definition of Nazi that is unique to you, like your definition of fascism.
As for whether they don't have sympathy for "Nazi-type" regimes (in the common meaning of this word), I wouldn't be so sure. Quite a few Russian liberals have made statements showing at least ambiguous feelings on this subject. This historian, for example, outright stated that it would've been better if Hitler had won the war.

"Propaganda" means, merely, "advertising" in Spanish

Anyway, having some whippersnappers teach me about VoA is quite funny

I'm well acquainted with the kind of material the likes of BBC, for example, produced for their Bulgarian edition during Communist rule. Now, it's possible that they were more objective and concerned with factual accuracy in the Russian edition, but I doubt it.

BTW, my gradfather is from Chilie,

Yeah, and he learned Russian at Lumumba.

I guess, comrade junior lieutenant, you have blown your cover again. Be more careful next time.

What an convenient world view: anyone who speaks Russian and doesn't agree with your views is actually a paid Russian troll.
