from what I can tell it's a russian propaganda site, I am guessing they were not delisted without cause.

they are mostly staffed by people in Crimea. That does make them more Russian leaning, but to delist them and not thepiratebay.org?

They also dont run any different stories than most Indian youtube channels, if anything the Indian YT news channels are more pro Kremlin.

>SouthFront (sometimes written South Front) is a multilingual website registered in Russia and based in Crimea. It has been accused by multiple sources of being an outlet for disinformation and propaganda under the control of the Russian government. For this reason, it has been sanctioned by the US Treasury and banned by social media platforms.

Ive been watching/reading them for several years now.

They have been a LOT more accurate and consistent in their reporting than most other news sources. Also one of the only news sources today that is actually honest when there are doubts about what people are saying.

Most of their stories are "one side said this, The other said that".

One of the few that covered Syria in detail and all the events leading to the US exit from Afghanistan.

This just means you prefer Russia-sympathetic media when building your bubble.

It means I like my bubble to cover all aspects of all sides. Rather than whatever the US military industrial complex and their war criminal, heroin dealing friends and aquantancies (you?) want me to read and listen to.

Are you still looking for those WMDs in Iraq? Did murdering David Kelly help you win those juicy oil contracts? pfft.

Or maybe you really believe the Taliban are just better educated and competent than the average US soldier?
