    I think that’s for the better. Sputnik is a fake news russian propaganda outlet like russia today. It’s the russian equivalent of RFA/RFE/VOA.

      And who told you that, the liberal western media? Sputnik and RT may have a pro-Russia bias, just like CGTN has a pro-China bias, but they are actually way more reliable than western mainstream media. The notion that they are on the same level of fake news as RFA is nothing more than imperialist propaganda.

          This would just leave you blind to what the masses are being inculcated with. You wouldn’t be able to understand the constantly evolving and latest indoctrination narratives being employed against the working class. It would leave you unempowered to understand and help them.

      They wear their biases on their sleeve for sure, but I wouldn’t say they are anything like RFA/RFE. I wouldn’t say to use them (or any singular source honestly) as your sole source of news, but they’re not a bad one to have in the rotation.
