"as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be most unwise."

this still applies. RT readers arent shooting you.

funny how the paradox of tolerance is thrown around most by the people who understand it the least.

I mean, we obviously can't. Who's going to make them provide balanced news ? no one since they're literally part of the Russian government. You can't "counter them by rational argument" if these arguments never reach the target

What about islamist news ? Why don't we broadcast that freely ? Can't you provide rational arguments against that ? What about nazis, why are they banned in Germany ? Are you afraid of not having rational arguments ?

Well, I can say the same about freedom of speech...
