So only propaganda peddled by the state is valid? These days every outlet has an agenda and blocking one just because it is coming from Russia is a false economy. Either block all propaganda or none and let people figure out the truth.

By what chain of reasoning did you go from what I wrote to that response?

Of course state propaganda is as invalid as anyone else’s! And all states equally, too!

Neither attempting to block nor failing to block solves the problem of discovering what the truth is. The former because it presupposes you already know the answer, the latter because it’s trivial to algorithmically create endless variations and combinations of lies and truths so that there literally isn’t enough time to decide what to believe.

Even intelligence agencies fall for fabrications. What hope do the rest of us have?
