Well, the problem is what's defined as "bullshit"? More importantly, who gets to decide it?
Because of all the woke and cancel culture "bullshit", it's now ok for media to act as gatekeepers. They can choose what information to feed you and what to fact-check and what not to. It's so deeply embedded into our society that if it's something that "most" don't agree with, then it must be bullshit.
In an ideal world, all information should be posted as is, with rebuttal/fact-check from different sources. Then readers can make their own judgment.
This is what's causing the divisive society. Each side only want/can hear what they want to hear, with no respect to the other side whatsoever.
The moment we stop respecting or at least hearing the argument from other side, we stopped being fair and respectful to the society. Sadly... too few understand this.
I'm not saying that Russia isn't posting bullshit. It's just what's fair and what's appropriate really? So, be careful what you wish for.
