3. What's RT?

4. Russia Today...it's a non-MSM show that some Dems love to hate, but they can report ideas and

news in what I consider to be, a less biased way. Everybody complains about the MSM...rightly so. But because this has Russia in it, they assume they'll make us communists and send us off to the Gulag.

I found Thom Hartman to be balanced and fair...for real. Seems he has his own show? Maybe that's why Ed is now on RT.

Personally as a fairly far leftie, I've never heard anything but stuff the US media won't touch.


ETA: I think all of their news is regarding the US, not Russia

5. International media company funded by the Russian government.

(And yes, lots of people like to ignore the funding stream because they like some of the messages coming from it)

7. Veteran journalist Ed Schultz returns to primetime on RT America.

Progressive political journalist Ed Schultz is joining RT America as the host of a primetime news show. “The News with Ed Schultz” will explore the issues that most affect working Americans, particularly within the context of the upcoming US presidential election.
The new journalistically based show, which will air at 8 pm ET on weeknights, will present the facts of the day, cutting through the issues the mainstream media seems to ignore.

“There is a fight for the heart and soul of our country right now. The effort to deliver healthcare to all Americans is a constant political fight I don’t believe the country can afford to lose,” Schultz said. “The corporate effort to ship jobs overseas threatens the middle class in America and every American should be concerned about that. My show will focus on these crucial issues.”

The show will contain more information and straight news in more depth than his previous work, he added.
