No surprise at all. That’s what Commies do best!

US TV is better? They hide Hunter Binden laptop story, some channels even don’t speak about the lies spread by Hillary Clinton between Trump and Russia … well at least with Russia what you see is what you get!

Wow ... how did that come out as a state secret?!?

If it weren't for propaganda, there would be no Russian state television. Nic nowego.

British TV channels do the same when they report on the Royal Family……fawning coverage

Honestly, people are not brainwashed in the 'free' world? Content moderation and narrative management is just more sophisticated form of propaganda. You need an independent mind no matter where you are

Fox News did the same, and many others do.

Exactly the same as Fox does.
