>> The Russian state media are reporting lie after lie - see some of the real footage from the war that you can easily find anywhere online and compare to what they are reporting. You don't need to be an intelligence expert to see that the Russian media is spreading outright lies and propaganda. Stopping this propaganda is the right thing to do.
> If they are such obvious lies then people will figure it out on their own - why do we need to censor them?
Enough people will be fooled, which is why they spread the lies. They're not stupid.
You're also kind of twisting the GP's meaning. He's not saying the lies are obvious on their face, but they're discoverable by a layman from critically comparing sources. However a lot of layman (most?) don't compare sources.
