Are you serious to suggesting we should hear from Putin's personal media outlets for a source on unbiased news coverage?

A sincere question, How do you feel about Hitler and the 3rd Reich, did they deserve more outlets also?

Both sources are controlled by Putin's Government and have been instructed to restrict Invasion/War and hinder coverage of the Russian Invasion of Ukraine.

The person you are replying to never said RT is unbiased. They only said that free societies should allow people to hear it. Part of living in a liberal society is allowing things you disagree with.

GP didn't say anything about unbiased. RT has literally "Russia" in the name, so I don't think anyone expects them to be paragons of neutrality for the present situation.

RT is under direct editorial control by Putin and his people. Blocking and banning them is denying Putin an amplifier. Nobody suffers or loses a valid place in any discussions.
