I don't think it should be blocked, as opposed to removed from broadcast, however, there should be a reasonable way around it.

Right now on RT.com they are spreading some fairy bad propaganda, and this illustrates the problem.

A few days ago a Russian soldier castrated then killed a Ukrainians soldier, it made waves around the world, the next day the prison facility where Ukranian soldiers were held was 'blown up'.

The Russians blamed it on HIMARS strikes, but as can be seen from satellite imagery it can't really be the case, it's also really cynical to suggest that somehow Ukraine would just go ahead and kill it's own citizens.

It's believed Russia did that to cover up their prison/torture situation but that's hard to know for sure.

The ultra Machiavellian approach of the Russians is to literally blame their atrocities on others, i.e. akin to Hitler saying: we didn't kill the Jews, we left them just fine, the Americans killed them when they overran the positions!

Russians will create diversionary media events to distract/suppress from the situation knowing the fact about 'the internet' is that it doesn't discern the truth.

There were small bomblets/mines in Donestk city yesterday, which would definitely injure someone if they stepped on it (likely requiring foot/leg amputation) but probably not enough to disable a tracked vehicle.

Russia is claiming those were somehow place by Ukraine, of course, Ukraine doesn't seem to even have the capability to do that, let alone the rationality - why would Ukraine arbitrarily drop such things way behind enemy lines? It makes no sense. They are almost assuredly placed there by Russians to create a false controversy (can't be sure on this though).

RT.com is as I write this being used to promote the false narrative and to say 'oh, Ukraine is committing war crimes!'

Do you see how easy that is?

RT exists for this reasons: to place ugly lies, to give them the veneer of credibility.

A couple months ago, Russia launched a Tochka missile on a train station where civilians were gathered for evacuation. Dozens of civilians were injured and killed. Russia blamed it on Ukraine, and used RT to promulgate the 'fact' that they didn't have Tochka missiles in their inventory, thereby 'proving' that it could not have been them. But more recently, verifiable evidence has come to light (from Russian sources!) showing Russia launching Tochka missiles, which we know they have. Their response? Who cares. The lie already happened, their 'propanda' already had it's effect and even to this day, they will avoid the question of 'Two months ago you said you had no Tochka missiles, now you are launching Tochka missiles?'.

So imagine trying to have a conversation with a total psychopath who lies to your face, and when evidence comes to light showing they lied, they still won't admit their lies. You know they are lying - they know you know they are lying - and of course you know, they know, that you know they are lying.

But it doesn't matter. The misinformation is out there.

It's a similar story for the downing of flight MH17. The evidence points to Russia having done it, likely by a wayward Buk operator. But RT is used to propagate disinformation and lies about the event, so as to cloud the reality of the situation.

Millions of people around the world, including in the West will 'fall for it' - you can even see it on this thread. They become 'useful idiots' for the propagation of the lie.

Even US idiot Congressman and notable media figures will repeat the 'talking points' promoted by RT. This happens not so much because they 'support Russia' per sey, rather, they use this information to attack their local political opponents in the US, or wherever.

Russian allied governments in China, Africa, M/E etc. happily pick up on this 'news' and run segments on it.

In this manner, Russia can literally blow people out of the sky, and very simply use their mass media tools to 'convince' 1/2 of the world that the Ukranians did it themselves.

Hitler telling the world that 'The Americans Killed The Jews, Not Us' - that is the purpose of RT, that's why it exists.
