I literally provided examples of constant disinformation we’ve had in the west over the past 4 years. Yes, all sides engage in pushing their own narrative, and that’s precisely why it’s so dangerous to limit access to information the way EU is doing. The argument that RT is exceptionally bad in this regard so that it specifically has to be blocked has no basis.
You may have an issue with this, I can certainly see why even if I think that no system of mass media is ever going to be healthy for society again, but what I don’t really understand about some of the posting here is that there are many proud authoritarians of the communist variety getting upset about authoritarian laws.
Don’t see it. What part of this aligns with me thinking RT is exceptionally bad? The only opinion I put forward is that mass media is equally bad from all sources. IMO it is literally the only reason mass media exists in the first place.
You’re literally saying you can see why it would be reasonable to ban a specific source. So, your whole position is self contradictory. If there is no difference in quality of media from all sources, then there is no justification for banning a specific source.
the whole context for this thread is literally you attacking the character of the person who pointed out the draconian media suppression in EU, and then doing hand wringing to justify it. You’re not fooling anybody here.

Good thing I never made that argument. I don’t agree with the ban at all.

Your reading comprehension needs work. I never said that. I said I can see why you might find that problematic. It has nothing to do with my opinion.

Do you know what dark MAGA is?
lmfao, can’t wait for you to explain how that’s relevant to the discussion about EU banning Russian media
