Fun part about whataboutism, you can keep asking "what about _?" over and over and still say nothing
This is literally an example of what happens when there is no free press at all. Sure it may be flawed but the alternative is waaay worse. I'm not saying that the US did not partake in it, just that the UDSSR did it so much worse
To be fair, you didn't really say any of that, just linked to a wiki page about censorship in the USSR
Fair enough
Wikipedia is a CIA propaganda hub
Every source you don't approve of is a cia propaganda hub. Convenient 😏
