Kremlin propaganda is not news.
And the others (AP, AFP, BBC, etc) are not propaganda?
Everybody ought to read, watch and listen all sides and THINK and take his/her position.
Something that www.others-news.info does very well, they post all sides. Mainly those articles hidden by the Big ones.
Should I watch Leni Riefenstahl films too, to help me impartially consider all sides of the issue of genocide before I take my position on it?
No.
Actual news of current affairs are not like history, i mean, "Riefenstahl films" is too much.
Nobody can be impartial, just more or less honest. News outlets represent different interests and you should think of this while getting information, that is all. They try to drag you in what they want you to believe in.
Any person can follow an issue from two or three opposite sides and track the development of the subject and take a more or less rational position. Refusing even hear arguments from one side could be a mistake.
I did not say impartial, just rational.
