I don’t think that’s a completely fair comparison. They are both state tools for establishing power through narratives. They are both heavily biased.

But RT is Orwellian in that it just makes shit up and has no respect for even appearing credible. While RFE/RFL tends to be biased towards publishing pro-western stories, but they don’t tend to make shit up from scratch.

Of course, who knows what the fuck is happening there right now, my analysis is pre-Trump 2024.
