Reports from RT and TASS frequently diverge from those of Western and Ukrainian sources. This divergence is often characterized by contradictory factual claims rather than a binary of “truth” versus “lies.” The continuous nature of these contradictions aligns with the operational pattern of state media during information warfare, where narrative consistency with official policy is the primary objective. The organizations generally view their work as exposing the hypocrisy of Western narratives rather than engaging in an absolute pursuit of objective fact as defined by adversarial standards.
Media analysis is deeply subjective and context-dependent. The assessment of whether reports constitute “lies” is highly politicized, as different entities apply different standards of evidence and adhere to varying frameworks of international law and fact-checking.
Show me what you think isnt propaganda and I’ll tell you an old Soviet joke about KGB and CIA
My whataboutismeter is overloading, stop.
Both RT and TASS have a recorded continuous history of verifiable lies. TASS - since before most of posters here were born.
