        Any media who actually do fact check and follow a journalistic ethic is good.

        BBC became controversial because it did not call the Gaza genocide what it is, but its etics guidline is not to judge and only report what it can verify (and clearly say when it cannot). So if I strongly disagree with them, at least I can understand why.

        RT, on the other hand, doesn’t bother with all that ethics. If that’s what Russia want you to believe, it represents it to its viewer as facts.

          I’ll let you in on a secret. The BBC doesn’t need to explicitly be out and out propaganda itself because the whole of “western civilisation” and its ideals are the great propaganda. The BBC is merely a tiny part of an enormous propaganda fever dream that grips the world as it destroys the world.

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wm51qp2r_SQ . In terms of sources for British establishment reaction, my bet is that it will be ultra pro election interference, and any agitation over reform is just “a smear campaign by corrupt party in charge” that treats labour as media treated Putin during the punishment for treason.
