The horror!
I know US media, like Voice of America, would never do something like that.

Having said that, I always chuckle at Americans who are so suspicious of RT given that they platform people like Cornell West and Chris Hedges who are absolutely blacklisted in western media.
I have no idea what the point of this comment is, other than everything sucks. :sigh:

Yandex is also a search engine, not just the now infamous Yandex News.

Incredibly damning of Microsoft if they were making deals after 2014 to help the Russian aggression against Ukraine. That they would still be participating in this deal is even worse.

Yandex search is vastly censored. See recent leaks for the list of the keywords they replace in search queries.
