"think RT is bad? well what about CNN?" how is that not whataboutism exactly?

  Coz it was an honest question. I was curious about whether you would genuinely like to see every CNN employee jailed for life. You answered clearly and in the affirmative. I dont agree with your answer and I dont find it to be consistent with a belief in free speech but it is consistent with what you previously said.

    If CNN participated in a blatant propaganda - i would want to hold them accountable. I don't believe they did during Iraq war, primarily because CNN is not government owned media and they don't know what is true or not. You can blame them for not verifying stories (and there should be responsibility for that as well), but RT absolutely knows what things they report are propaganda lies and what aren't.

      >primarily because CNN is not government owned media Depends on how much stock you put in Operation Mockingbird.[1] Many journalists in mainstream media absolutely carry water for the government. And it's not just CNN either, it's Fox News, NY Times, Washington Post etc. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Mockingbird https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Mockingbird
