    Because US news is not the only news Russia has to compete with?

    German, French, English, Australian...

    US news sucks but Russian news is a bad joke, because it pretends to be serious.

    And we all know that the guys at Fox News always laugh about themselves and the things they say.

    Actually, much of Fox news is pretty solid. THeir Fox and Friends morning show and the Hannity program are whacked, but the afternoon business and politics roudups are good info.

    The Russian opposition leader was just gunned down, shot in the back.

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    A lot of RT is good info as well. It's mostly just the Russia vs. West topics that you can't trust.

    That exact same article was posted on BBC's newsite. Several of its kind, in fact.

    Stop being thick.

    They are actually against that idea, if you had properly read the article you should know that.

    Seamus also said that the political stuff on Fox other than two specific shows was perfectly reliable, but I don't think that one is well-advised to take everything Papa Bear says as reliable...
    A lot of propaganda in nationalistic countries does also not appear to be propaganda to those who are used to the nationalism, but that's just my opinion. When you are used to thinking that your nation is the greatest, you are far less likely to question most of the people who proclaim that your nation is on the right side of history, always justified etc. That's also true in Russia of course, but they're far from the only ones.
