6. Maybe you should watch the Video and Post where you have problems with it?

Then it could be a serious discussion.

7. lol. Sometimes it appears that different people use your laptop and post for you

since you act like this never happened before.
Like you don't get posts hidden for Nuland conspiracy theories in defense of Putin's fascist takeover of Ukraine.
That you haven't admitted your proud ignorance of the basics of recent history of Russia that you regularly defend.
That we haven't seen your faux "who, me?" tactic over and over again.

I am always amused at those that willingly limit their access to real news based on who hosts them.

Progressive voices already have a hard enough time being heard with Clearchannel canceling liberal radio shows and keeping only right wing hate shows which dominate daytime radio.

Abby Martin is a treasure. A strong, fearless, woman... the very epitome of speaking truth to power. RT allowed her a voice. A small balance against the pro-corporate "shills" in the MSM. Putin was smart enough, or advisors from RT, to allow Martin and the American version of RT to have carte blanch on criticizing wrongs within the US. If they were encouraged NOT to criticize Mother Russia...so what? You can get enough anti-Putin leaning stories in other news sources.
And she has left RT. But that's not even good enough for you.

Thom Hartmann now works for RT. I guess he is a lost cause now too eh? And for the rest of his career as well.

Not to mention Rachel Maddow. Who works for General Electric, one of the largest weapons manufacturers in the world. I'd be very suspicious of anything that comes out of that MIC shill if I were you.

Because its preferable to not hear some real news, something you would never have heard otherwise, than to hear it on your disapproved list of platform hosts.

I am so glad Abby Martin is still in the game, and Hedges is always interesting.

5. Thank you, KoKo..

I watched this yesterday evening - I think it popped up after a Crosstalk session.

I think Abby's "Breaking the Set" programs on RT are excellent.
