Russia Translates Fox into Russian for Viewers, Censors New York Times

[jpn]

We all know that all news reports are biased in some way. What's important is to understand the way in which a news source is biased.
Russia is making that really easy for us nowadays. Here's what they are censoring:



I see the NYTimes is included, to their everlasting credit.

Meanwhile, Russian state TV is translating Fox News into Russian for its viewers.

Which one do you get your news from?

 

[EdwinWillers]

Which one do you get your news from?

Not Twitter, that's for sure.

 

[jpn]

Not Twitter, that's for sure.

That's like saying, "not tv," or "not newspapers."

The question is whose tweets you read, not the platform itself.

Meanwhile:

Russia blocks Facebook inside the country as the Kremlin moves to stifle dissent​

Facebook on Friday became the first American tech giant to be blocked by the Russian government, as part of the Kremlin’s broadening campaign to tighten control of the internet and limit spaces for dissent about the war in Ukraine.​

Uhhh.... not it's not.

If you're going to draw comparisons, you're better off comparing Twitter with DP - at least as far as the type of platform it is (i.e. a message board). And fwiw, I don't get my news from here either - for what I hope are patently obvious reasons.

Don't we have some sort of satellite interference signal we could blast into Russia and cut their TV services off? They are literally lying to their citizens. And have just passed a new law that anyone who spreads 'Fake News' will be imprisoned for 25 years.

I want all the Trumpers to think about that real hard. What was one of Trumps big dreams? He wanted to punish news outlets that he didn't like. He wanted to jail political opponents.

You cult members best be careful what you wish for. Living in a country like Russia is not really what you want.

That's one way to look at it.
But we can also HONESTLY say that it could be because more people watch FOX than do CNN & NBC combined!
There was a post on DP that said even more US DEM's watch FOX....

Did you see why Nick Sandmann sued CNN&NBC ?..... That's a reason not to trust those propaganda outlets.

Uh...it is. With Twitter, just like on most news sources, it's up to you to decide who to believe. The Tweet I shared was forwarded by Anne Applebaum, a journalist, historian and author with terrific credentials. She writes for the Atlantic, which I subscribe to. I read her recent book, Twighlight of Democracy. Her book Red Famine; Stalin's War on Ukraine is on my read list. She's American. Her husband is Polish. He served as the Polish Defense Minister and Foreign Minister. So, when she posts something on Twitter, I pay attention. It's up to you if you choose to.

That's far more than I know about any of the posters here at DP.

Twitter is a free-for-all, and if you only believe tweets that support your pre-existing ideology regardless of the source, then you can use Twitter to get a lot stupider. As many do.
Or you can audit who you follow on Twitter and end up with a source of excellent information.

Unfortunately, many lack the education, wisdom, and inclination to follow people with intellectual integrity.

Yes, authoritarians loath a free press. It's no coincidence that Trump and conservatives generally berate the free press every day.

Here's a blast from the past:

BBC Brings Back Shortwave Radio Broadcasts in Russia​

The move comes as Russia restricts access to the BBC's websites.​

Maybe you didn't read my OP.

You seem to be saying that the Russians would translate CNN and NBC into Russian for their viewers if more Americans watched it. The fact that Fox is pro-Putin and non-Trump channels aren't is immaterial, according to you. I mean, that's what the logic of your response is. What am I missing?

One more thing. The New York Times isn't a TV show.

Not really, more that CNN&NBC are so blatantly fake that why would anyone want to sight it.... That's all.

Twitter is still a complete waste of time
Like Facebook and Instagram
Low IQ, high bullshit sources reeking of garbage

You cult members best be careful what you wish for. Living in a country like Russia is not really what you want.

You constantly call for domestic censorship on this forum, including shutting down social media over "misinformation" and you publicly lament that CNN wants to become more mainstream because you openly want them to help win what you call the "propaganda war."

You then come into a thread about Russia shutting down social media and engaging in censorship and propaganda and act like you have a leg to stand on. Nobody is buying what you're selling.



I could go on forever... There's little difference between you and Putin on this issue. Just like Putin you've deluded yourself into believing that you want to do these things for altruistic reasons.

 

[The AntiDonald]

Not really, more that CNN&NBC are so blatantly fake that why would anyone want to sight it.... That's all.

Absolutely nothing to do with it. Fox has of late really swung pro-Putin. It's the only reason they get airtime in Russia.

I am not sure the idiot owner of Fox News even understands how badly he's hurting his network allowing this crap. No one in the world right now is siding with Putin except for Putin and Tucker Carlson. He is shameful and really ridiculous. Ukrainians blood is on Foxes hands. I hope they are proud of themselves.

What's your point? I stand by my comments. All caps don't change anything.

Did I trigger something. Does your font size go any bigger?

As Mycroft would say; You're Dismissed.

Point is you and Putin would be good comrades when it comes to censorship.

 

[Hatuey]

Lol, of course Putin left FOX News alone. It is the only news source that will paint his regime in a positive light, and ask to be taken seriously.

They have a very short chronology of faux news talking heads worshipping Putin. That started way back during the Obama admin.

I think Murdoch knows. He is a modern Goebbels.

Not that I agree with it, but that's OK when things were peaceful. But he has allowed it to get out of hand. Where are his more moderate sons?

 

[Loulit01]

Of course FoxNews/Pravda is welcome in Russia. Trump, Putin and Fox have the same agenda: End democracy and install a dictator led oligarchy/kleptocracy.

Any one of the broadcast outlets (NBC, CBS, ABC) out draws cable FOX News every day. Whenever I hear someone bragging about FOX News viewership, I feel they would also like to argue over who was the greatest minor league baseball player of all time.

You're just incoherent. Comrade.
