    Regardless of your thoughts on homegrown propaganda, we should all be able to agree that Russian-backed newspapers are not a good counterbalance.

      It is the perfect counterbalance. What alternatives do you offer?

                    Russia is a country actively occupying parts of two three much smaller countries. Where the president is wanted by the ICC for war crimes. Where the government has frequently and provably lied.

                    There should be a counterbalance to the approved government narrative, but Russian state-backed newspapers are absolutely the last source that should fill that role.
