If RT is so wonderful and praiseworthy, explain why so many journalists are resigning, unable to stomach the propaganda?

[bbc.com]

@Petter Because RT is only one of 24 state owned and or run and or funded Russian TV stations and unlike most of them RT is part public owned. This unlike almost all others who are either owned by various Russian government ministries, consortiums of Russian state banks and the commonwealth of independent states ( a hold over from the old Soviet days)
TV-Novosti who own RT on the other hand are an autonomous non-profit organization funded by the Russian state-owned news agency RIA in April 2005 but under a board of non governmental directors in the same way as the BBC is funded by the government Licence fee collected as a tax from the UK public but run by a board of independent directors worldwide .

The vast majority of resignations of journalist have been from VGTRK (government owned), Moscow Media (owned by Moscow city), Podmoskovie Mediagroup (state owned operated by the Russian equivalent of the Home Office) Telekanal Zvezda owned by the Russion Ministry of Defence, Public Television of Russia owned by Russian government, Gazprom Media owned by the state owned Gazprom bank, Mir owned by the CIS, and Channel One Russia owned by the Russian Government.
RT have had few resignations but have lost many staff members to redundancies owning to sanctions and western countries ceasing their ability to publicly broadcast.

Yes RT is very biased and Pro homeland, but the same could be said of BBC America, BBC worldwide and even BBC Wales and BBC Scotland

For F's sake. Stop praising Russia and pushing their state propaganda.

And how is advising of the action of an Italian artist honestly expressing his view on the demonisation of a recognised classical Russian author, dead for more than 100 years, "praising Russia and pushing their state propaganda"? I suggest that he is calling out those trying to rewrite history. @Castlepaloma, @Skado & @Redbai what is your view of this superb street art?

Are you regressing to childhood puerility Petter?

@FrayedBear So what is the aim of Britain, Germany, France, Poland etc?

@FrayedBear

Of 47 years of being a professional artist , I've not ever touch the red flag and the false flags of politicians nor Religion. Being an anarchist and history buff I know the vast majority of everything that they touch, turns to sloppy horrible shit. Governments proprrganda is worst than how I shit. That sloppy and and all over.
There is no reason for war other than for power and greed It's not about the people, people are better of leading themselves.

@Petter your story Petter. You tell it.
