According to the report, Sputnik News focused on highly negative stories about NATO and the EU, in particular. Foreign Policy magazine has described Sputnik as a slick and internet-savvy outlet of Kremlin propaganda, which "remixes President Vladimir Putin's brand of revanchist nationalism for an international audience... beating a predictable drum of anti-Western rhetoric."[5] Such views were also voiced by the Washington DC-based think tank[29] Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA), which argues that Sputnik spreads biased information. In the opinion of CEPA, Sputnik invites only a select group of commenting politicians, especially those known for their pro-Russian views.[6] According to Kevin Rothrock, Russia editor for Global Voices, Sputnik "acts as a spoiler to try and disrupt or blur information unfriendly to Russia, such as Russian troops' alleged involvement in the war in Ukraine".[30] Historical comparisons have been made to Pravda, once the official newspaper of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, in particular Sputnik's alleged apologia for Joseph Stalin and denial of the 1932–1933 famine in Ukraine known as the Holodomor.[31] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RT_(TV_network) Read the facts: The New Republic writer James Kirchick accused the network of "often virulent anti-Americanism, worshipful portrayal of Russian leaders."[217] Edward Lucas wrote in The Economist (quoted in Al Jazeera English) that the core of RT was "anti-Westernism."[190] Julia Ioffe wrote "Often, it seemed that Russia Today was just a way to stick it to the U.S. from behind the façade of legitimate newsgathering."[13] Shaun Walker wrote in The Independent that RT "has made a name for itself as a strident critic of US policy."[218] Allesandra Stanley wrote in The New York Times that RT is "like the Voice of America, only with more money and a zesty anti-American slant."[62] David Weigel writes that RT goes further than merely creating distrust of the United States government, to saying, in effect: "You can trust the Russians more than you can trust those $#@!s."[46]

    When one gazes across the landscape of US mainstream media outlets , it becomes obvious why Sputniknews was created . It had to be , to save the world from drowning in fake news.

    I would understand your posts better is you used their actual names instead of these juvenile monikers.
    You can still disagree or even hate someone if you spell their name correctly.
    It takes nothing away from your point.

    What DOES take away from your point is using all these silly and juvenile monikers.
    Now i have no idea who or what you are talking about.

    Russian owned , as far as I know . A good idea for America(and Aus ), considering the mess that private ownership has dished up......private ownership always has agendas to push , and have proven to be unworthy of being transparent and honest in their editorial coverage.

    Of course you know exactly whom I am referring to; you just want to put me in my place. There are no ranks on the Internet, Chief. If there were, I'd rank all of us as active-duty media and the professional jurinalists as actors dressed up in costumes to make them look like real media.

    Their links are found in their website and embedded in the story I provided that you did not read. You weren't aware of these Red Sea remote controlled boats, you weren't aware of Houthi drone and missile strikes. Thus gave us a one sided ideologue's(you) opinion. I used credible sources to show there are several sides of this story that never get told by you media puppets. I thought I'd help out.
