Good for the DOJ:
Of course, the likes of Sputnik are Russian State Media;
That’s the big difference from the usual lame excuses that come out, “what about our media?”.
Hey, if I don’t like CNN, Fox, NBC, NYT, Wapo, I can go to OANN, the Daily Caller and so on.
This is not the same situation as those quoting Russian and Iranian media for the most part, they quote Sputnik, they quote RT. The proper comparison here would be the Voice of America or Radio Free Europe.
BS. CNN (CNN International) makes its money dealing with foreign tyrannical state governments, and pushing those government's anti American propaganda on US viewers.
So stop with the Big Government nonsense. We don't need any government gatekeepers, whether it's Russian or CNN doing deals with foreign governments.
