He doesn't care. Russia opposes the US. Truth, lies, life, death... nothing of that matters to him.

It is run with a major help from nazis. I have no idea whether some of them may be lgbt, but that's irrelevant. Being a nazi is a lot more relevant than being lgbt...For all I know, some lgbt may be pro-Russian or even pro-Putin...

No matter how hard it tries, propaganda just isn’t good nor cool.

Interesting news you get over there. Over here, we only get bland, boring stick-to-the-facts reporting. It stays neutral and avoids voicing opinion.

Sticking to the facts reporting is never boring, it's what journalism is all about. But you seem to prefer propaganda...

Two of our nationwide television networks are state owned (modelled on Britain's BBC). The other three are private enterprise. The two govewrnment (but independent) channels seem to set the benchmark in news and current affairs reporting which then seems to entice the 3 private channels to lift their game in mthis sphere as well. It is arguably a win-win situation.

The above program replicated over UTube was NOT propaganda but a current affairs program of general interest.

That its subject matter was/is something that you would likely find disagreeable is besides the point.

There are parastatal media outlets with editorial independence. But that you think TASS, RT, and the rest your network of dezinformatisiya are among them speaks very poorly for either your discernment, your honesty, or both.
