    I’m not saying it about the post though, that’s your interpretation. I’m saying RT is as much a propaganda outlet as BBC, CNN, CBS, etc. So do not believe them outright, do your own due diligence.

      But the RT content is your post and you’ve been defending it with little more than whataboutism about ‘western media being propaganda.’ What due diligence have you done here? Seems like you only believe it to be true because you want to believe it’s true otherwise you would be using facts and reasoning to make an argument rather than linking to TikTok videos about how corrupt CNN is.
