TV Free West???

When I was a boy, on TV several times every day I saw ads for Radio Free Europe (which would have been more properly called Radio Free NATO). The USSR, we were told, blocked all Western news and the radio stations in the USSR and the Warsaw Pact broadcast nothing but lies. But Radio Free Europe, if they had enough money, had ways to circumvent the USSR blocking methods and get the TRVTH to all those poor people in Eastern Europe and the USSR with absolutely no other way to get it.

Today, the West insist that every Western media must report the same thing: Putin launched a totally unprovoked and unjustified attack on the Ukraine that was definitely and indisputably a war crime, and his ultimate goal is to first re-create the USSR, so after the Ukraine, the Baltics are next; next he wants to rebuild the Warsaw Pact, so Poland comes either right after or in parallel with the invasion of the Baltics, and then he'll proceed to subjugate Western Europe, the UK, and North America, so Putin must be paralysed in the Ukraine.

Fortunately, all the Western media reiterate that Russia are losing badly, more than 600,000 Russian soldiers dead, more than 90% of all Russian tanks and artillery destroyed, so the Russian remnant just march into undefended villages like Bucha, murder as many civilians as they can, and flee before the police can arrive and arrest them.

The Ukraine counteroffensive started slowly, but they have destroyed the Russian First Line of defence and are now advancing rapidly.

And if the Russians don't want to die from the US-provided radioactive uranium shells, they must leave immediately.

Most of the blogs here agree that the Western media are all lies, that NATO are designed to destroy third-world countries, not peer powers, and Russia are not Iraq nor Afghanistan nor Libya but are more than a match for NATO. If one takes any story in the Western media and switches Russian for Ukrainian and Ukrainian for Russian, one gets a semblance of the truth.

But no one in the West will see that if the Western governments have their way.

Before, I could watch Russian, Chinese, Iranian, and Qatar news from Hotbird. But Russia were banned from February 2022.

Then, in December 2022, the EU and NATO discovered that Hotbird were illegally broadcasting China and Iran (they're not sure whether Qatar is legal or illegal, but they're sure about China and Iran) so Hotbird was shut down.

So can Russia do something like the US did with Radio Free Europe and somehow bring TV Free Russia to the West?
