Don't bother, they won't tell you the truth either. Just a different pack of lies more favorable to them.

Of course it would be hard for them to be less truthful than our MSM, so there is that.

I remember when we used to mock USSR newspapers (PRAVDA) as propaganda. All this time, our own press has been gas-lighting the American public, spoon feeding lies. Unfortunately, it is still effective on a large swath of the nation. The good news is that some folks are waking up, but is it too late?

Either Russia has matured a lot since the fall of the USSR, or the American MSM significantly devolved during the clinton-Bush-obama years.
