    Right, so you’d ignore the NYT on Isreal. Yeah? Or when Al Jazeera defends Qatar.

    Why don’t you feel the same way about Russia Today… on Russia?

    Reaching a conclusion is not a failure of critical thinking skills; it’s what they’re for. You’re not just allowed to recognize consistent bullshit - you’re expected to.

      If you really don’t understand the difference between a news organization with which you disagree and a state actor in all but name, that’s on you.
