rt.com is considered a Russian state propaganda outlet. Whether that assessment is correct I don't know, but RT is at least Russian state funded. Try finding the same info on a news site that's not directly funded by Russia and you'll probably have better luck posting it.

Yet they allow DOD, Education, State, Labor, EPA, Transportation. Who knew only US State propaganda is allowed.

>Who knew only US State propaganda is allowed. It isn't hard to guess. Reddit's owners, servers, and most of its userbase are in the US.

Bit of a leap from Russian controlled media to US Govt divisions...

A better comparison would be the BBC or NPR. RT is funded by Russian taxpayers and run by the Russian government. The BBC is funded by British taxpayers and run by the British government. NPR is taxpayer-funded and was established by an act of Congress. Most of its member stations are owned by government entities.

Maybe try posting an article not from a Russian owned site.

*Yikes... Russphobic much?*

You gotta see the issue here. Russian state owned website talking about American politics. It's bad optics. There's nothing "phobic" about it.
1 u/SpyX2 01 Sep 2020 15:03
*Yikes... actual facts and logic?* Though, why should a whole country be banned from participating in discussions that affect everyone?
1 u/hashtagpow 01 Sep 2020 15:04
I'm so confused now and have no idea what yer trying to say.
1 u/SpyX2 01 Sep 2020 15:07
If only we were so lucky that US politics didn't leak in other countries. But now we have riots in Europe, too, because of the media. Because of this, all countries should be allowed to voice their opinion.
1 u/hashtagpow 01 Sep 2020 15:30
Wait Are you saying riots in Europe are because of US politics...

Didn't see much BLM action around here before the late May. And people like Antifa and anarchists mostly appeared as MLP stickers, or to do animal abuse on police horses. Now, they seem to be everywhere. Haven't seen a riot myself, though. But I've heard bigger countries have been plagued by them.

I agree with the other commenters, you cant be using a site that is so blatant with their state sponsored propaganda. I get that it's hypocritical since they allow American propaganda outlets and probably sites like Al Jazeera, which is Quatar sponsored propaganda, but it is what it is. Find a different outlet reporting on this and see what happens, they'll probably remove it as well, then you'll have a better case to complain about.

When I used to post to r/politics, I still used their [whitelist](https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/wiki/approveddomainslist). r/politics would be even worse if they allowed every goober's blog to be posted there.
