Russian media outlets are targeted in the West because they speak the truth and counter propaganda, the Russian president believes
Russian media outlets including RT have been banned by Western governments because they fear the truth, Russian president Vladimir Putin has said. The president made the remarks on Wednesday during a meeting of the ‘Russia – the country of possibilities’ civic platform.
“Probably, [truth] is the sharpest weapon against lies, and propaganda soaked with these lies,” Putin stated.
DETAILS TO FOLLOW
RT (Russia Today) is a state-owned news organization funded by the Russian government. The information provided by this news source is being included by the Libertarian Hub not as an endorsement of the Russian government, but rather because it is being actively censored by Big Tech, Western governments and the corporate press. During times of conflict it is imperative that we have access to both sides of the story so we can form our own opinions, even if both sides are spewing their own propaganda. The censorship of RT, despite likely being a propaganda outfit for the Russian government, reduces our ability to hear one side of the conflict. For that reason, the Libertarian Hub will temporarily republish the RSS feed from RT. Visit https://rt.com
