Another piece of the Switchover.
RT is focusing HEAVILY today on the failed (but recovered) Soyuz launch. Seems a bit odd for a propaganda outlet, but maybe it's not so odd.
In Cold War 1, the western side made a point of showing both the successes and failures of our side. The shortwave outlets aimed at Russia were actually more objective than our internal media. When I wanted to know what was REALLY going on, I tuned to VOA or BBC instead of NBC or ABC.
And in Cold War 1, Pravda and Radio Moscow were famous for ignoring failures of their side, especially in space.
SWITCHOVER.
Now the western media, both internal and external, are utterly devoid of facts and logic, and Russia's external media make a point of showing both the good and the bad, especially in space.
When you have
CONFIDENCE in your side, you don't need to lie.
