RT Wonders Why Media Ignores Russian Narrative While Funding Own War
Russian state-funded outlet RT recently featured an 'EU historian' lamenting that the 'truth about Donbass' is being pushed out of public view. The irony, of course, is thicker than Russian propaganda itself. This concern for unbiased information comes from a network directly financed by the Kremlin, whose primary objective is to serve Russian state interests, not journalistic impartiality. One
might wonder if the 'truth' RT seeks to push into public view aligns perfectly with Russia's geopolitical agenda—rather than, say, the documented human rights abuses or the invasion of a sovereign nation. The lack of self-awareness here is breathtaking; it's like a fox complaining about the wolf's media coverage of the hen house. Perhaps if RT stopped acting as a state mouthpiece, its pleas for
media openness might carry an ounce of credibility. But then again, a leopard rarely changes its spots, especially when those spots are printed by a government.
