      In a war no matter who is the aggressor and who is the aggressed both will do propaganda, both would lie about causalities and who side has the upper hand. You post a link about how Ukraine media can criticize their president is internal affair which has nothing to do with the war

        I am aware of that. The thing with Kyiv Independent in particular (this is the most frequently posted “Ukrainian news”) is that the Ukrainian government is not directly in control of what they write, unlike with RT. The problem with RT is that they publish fake news regularly while Kyiv Independent mostly just chooses to publish the news that show Ukraine in a good light but their articles stay factually correct. Examples of failed RT fact checks regarding the current conflict:

        To be clear, I do not support publishing the news from news agencies based in any of the countries involved in the conflicts (not just this one, same goes for Al Jazeera reporting on conflicts in the Arab world), but there is a difference between RT and the other media outlets. Both aren’t reliable but RT is just at another level when it comes to “unreliable”

      private news agencies owned by billionaires who use them to push their own agendas which are almost always aligned with Nato narratives.
