Right, you didn’t. Because I never said RT is “ok” because of WaPo.
I was simply noting that unfortunately American news is propaganda just as much as RT is.
A pot vs. kettle thing.
So if we’re eliminating posting sources that frequently include deception and propaganda in them, we’d have a fairly empty FR. If I’m going to dismiss RT because they’ve printed deceptions, I’d have to dismiss just about every news outlet, because most of them attempt to deceive.
Even though there are printed deceptions, there may also be true facts and assertions mixed in news articles.
Personally (and I believe most people do this), instead of ignoring all but some precious few “favored” news sources, I read stories in WaPo if they come up in my searches. If I find interesting facts and assertions, I will from time to time post links to WaPo articles.
I don’t dismiss every single word they print as untrue, even though I know they have a history deception.
I go through the articles I may come across and see what facts they purport, go and try to independently verify those purported facts from another source, then try to deduce whether I think the purported facts are true or not.
They may make assertions; same thing, compare and contrast with other sources, do some logical analysis.
One simply does not prove an assertion or claim false by claiming that the source always tells falsehoods.
