If a media of any kind starts to filter what I can see, I will loose trust in that media. Being blind to the opposing side, and being stuck in a bubble where everyone agrees with me is the perfect place for misinformation to spread.

There is a difference between "i think that ... because ..." (expressing yourself) and "we should censor/attack/cancel ... because they are the bad guys" (propaganda).
What we have here is bots utilizing platforms with a specific aim. In this case, it's a specific comment plugin (Disqus) on specific government-related site (RT.com) that's being used to facilitate a firehose of propaganda.
As Garry Kasparov says: "The point of modern propaganda isn't only to misinform or push an agenda. It is to exhaust your critical thinking, to annihilate truth."
