“It's a shame people no longer trust the mainstream media and, while searching for truth, get hooked on fake news following Russian narrative.”
I have a ‘mate’ who is exactly like this. His current news feed is RT News and no arguing with him will change his mind. I have tried to point out there must be truth somewhere in the middle ground. It hurts my head trying to change his mind.
When RT News was taken off UK TV, he responded with ‘that’s because they tell the truth and the UK government don’t want anyone hearing the truth’.
My head still hurts.
TGR-
People like that want to believe that stuff because it reaffirms something they're already thinking.

You can empathise thought, like the mainstream media (says BBC) barely talk about Brexit because of either having people in pocket or simply will not get interviews with government official.
So I can see why people think like that.

RT did once act as a platform for some relevant/credible voices, you could tell immediately because at the start of the show there’d be a disclaimer saying ‘this programme does not represent rt, opinions held are that of program makers alone’ etc. In 2008/9 i was very keen on the kaiser report. then it just went bitcoin crazy.

There are nazis everywhere, by the way. Just like there are criminals everywhere. Is that a reason to invade a country?
