I trust Russian media almost as much as I trust American media. Well, as much. Maybe a little more.

Naaa. I don't trust either, Both are instruments of their governments.

You mean like MSNBC? They seek only to divide and ruin this great (once great) nation!

Oh yes.

Pravda was always such a humorous name for the Soviet/Russian news media. Well, I thought it was humorous.

When did we ever read Russian news sources with any other mind set? I don't remember a time for doing that. Do you?

Yeah....still trying to find any real difference between Russian media and media here in the US.

On the other hand:

It’s not possible that the same guy made up two different stories?

Also interesting: the Ukrainian government is banning foreign journalists? You’d think they’d want journalists in to refute the Russian propaganda. No-one bans journalists unless they don’t want people to know what’s REALLY going in.

Russian channels caught lying

Depending upon the story, in recent years (since the 0bama regime seized power) some of the Russian source like Pravda have proven to be more truthful, informative and reliable than American sources like SeeBS, ABC, NBC, NY Slimes, Wash Compost, etc.
