How about we just call it "bullshit" ? Obviously MSM is total fucking garbage....
While we're at it, whats up with the constant russia-insider.com links? This shit is pure propaganda, every bit as bad as any MSM....
Do you recall this question being asked twice before? And do you recall my answer both times? (reminder hint - it's also in the subject of some of the threads; also notice threading, and the ability to filter both subject lines and threads)

"Long time readers and Russia watchers know that one of the most odious pro-Kremlin sites in existence is Russia Insider. Rather than create original content, most of their articles consist of material reprinted from other sources, typically Kremlin media outlets but also including sites featuring ideological racism and Holocaust denial. What better sources for a site that still uses the “Kiev Nazi junta” trope?"
Interesting that RI is associated with holocaust deniers, as I just realized yesterday that Zen is himself a holocaust denier when he posted a bunch of holocaust denial links.
Is holding that there is poor evidence for 6 million, and reasonable evidence for ~2.X million, and that the USA concentration camps were no better in some cases worse, the gulag another equally "fun" place to be, and the propaganda around "the Jewish Holocaust" which began well before WW2, and that "it's humans dude, we gotta fix us, all of us", is somehow a "bad" thing? And is all that, and plenty more, and nuance and subtlety, all bundled into "holocaust denier" a suitable way to engage in constructive conversation? "Conspiracy theorists" ... that's "original" :/
