Not really what they asked…

So then you’re arguing nothing and agreeing with me, cool.

This coming from you who believes totalitarian countries are a great source for news. In the 1940s you’d be saying how actually we should be able to get news from Nazi germany. You are out of your league intellectually. Go to bed

Did I ever say western press didn’t have propaganda? I said we have free range to access everything, whereas your favorite country does not. I also like how you can’t contest Putin being an authoritarian or anything about Russian news because you haven’t researched it, watched it, or understand propaganda when it’s given to you.

Again, you’re simply proving my point. 1. In the west we are actually allowed to read whatever press we want, in Russia they cannot. 2. We actually elect our presidents/leaders and are therefore, by definition, not totalitarian. 3. Russian press IS propaganda. Which, if you had bothered to research anything, would find to be the case.

Half of my family lives in Russia. I’m not surprised. Opposition to the government doesn’t matter if it literally cannot be broadcast. You’re not proving any point by saying the people don’t agree. So what? It can’t be shown. What happened to nemtsov? Navalny? The skripals? Cmon dude. Think for a second. Putin is one of the biggest deniers of free press on earth, anything that is said on Russian media IS propaganda or controlled opposition, it’s that simple.

Dude their point of view IS Russian propaganda. The only press allowed in Russia is literal kremlin approved news stories and misinformation. Then 1-2 “controlled opposition” stations.
