US sanctions RT

US sanctions RT

The Russian outlet is a threat to democracy, the State Department has claimed

www.rt.com

So much talk about "democracy" :

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has accused RT and its parent company of acting as an extension of Russian intelligence and attempting to undermine democracy around the world.

James O’Brien, assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs, called RT a “threat to democracy and accurate information.”

...however this seems like the total opposite is true.

RT is a threat to lies of the ruling class.

RT is a threat to a technocratic dictatorship they would love to install.

How can censoring information possibly be a threat to democracy, and what is so good about democracy anyway if this is where it leads..

If you tell a lie often enough people will start to believe it.
