80. What is "actually reported" is... Nothing... Made up stuff...

Yet you will wander down the lane from "blacklist" to "negative effect on one's career" without skipping a beat... Like they are the same thing... Based on shit... Fuckin-A, you even admit (barely) that these supposed quotes are attributed to no one (and they could only come up with three of those?) oh... Except for the one quote they use out of context (oh, and hey, his family was holocaust survivors) to lie to people so they think he and lots of his friends support blacklisting... But why would anyone think of an old meme because of that?

I'm not making any commentary on Penelope Cruz or Javier Bardem... I agree with them. Anyone spreading rumors that have no basis in fact while using an old anti Semitic meme... Those are the people I am commenting about.

One wrong does not justify another... Sheesh... Will we ever fucking learn that lesson.

Why would anyone believe what rt.com says? OKNancy Aug 2014 #2

Can you cite a single example, please reorg Aug 2014 #10

Can you point to some major news story that RT has been wrong about? As a frequent viewer sabrina 1 Aug 2014 #68

"Don't try to create a blacklist," says Voight. oberliner Aug 2014 #69

Well, it's unlikely to happen. In one of the links there is a reference to someone who has worked sabrina 1 Aug 2014 #73

Uh huh zappaman Aug 2014 #70

so, still no examples reorg Aug 2014 #79

I dunno....let me ask that well known Putin-apologist Thom Hartman the same question... PoutrageFatigue Aug 2014 #89

Still at it, eh Nancy? Purveyor Aug 2014 #101

Likely a BS story, but surely no one who supports BDS could object to this? tritsofme Aug 2014 #3

Your basic "bullshit sandwich." jaysunb Aug 2014 #4

both actors are known through high quality, independent productions reorg Aug 2014 #17

I don't know about Weinstein JustAnotherGen Aug 2014 #105

Harvey Weinstein about "Miral" reorg Aug 2014 #109

Read JustAnotherGen Aug 2014 #110

Well, if the RT says so, it must be true...I mean, they're always right, joeybee12 Aug 2014 #5

Example please reorg Aug 2014 #15

If you're really going down that road... joeybee12 Aug 2014 #49

so, no example, as I expected. reorg Aug 2014 #51

I mean, it's not like RT ever hosted this guy, right? Tarheel_Dem Aug 2014 #82

on the news or in one of their entertainment shows? reorg Aug 2014 #83

Don't know if you know it, but you made my point for me. Tarheel_Dem Aug 2014 #98

Yes, I know that you agree with Alex Jones n/t reorg Aug 2014 #120

!!! Tarheel_Dem Aug 2014 #121

Um...you know Thom Hartman is on that same network, right? PoutrageFatigue Aug 2014 #88

Yes. Yes I do, and I've lost all respect for him & Goodman. Tarheel_Dem Aug 2014 #96

You know he's probably the most liberal, progressive voice on American radio right now? PoutrageFatigue Aug 2014 #97

Ask yourself how "the most liberal, progressive voice on American radio" could associate himself.... Tarheel_Dem Aug 2014 #100

You'd have to ask him...maybe because none of the American networks will carry him? PoutrageFatigue Aug 2014 #102

Another question, how many "AMERICAN people" are actually listening to Putin's mouthpiece aka RT? Tarheel_Dem Aug 2014 #111

I don't have Thom Hartmann's numbers handy, but they aren't enough to get interest from a US network PoutrageFatigue Aug 2014 #112

Hartmann sold his soul for a few minutes on the teevee machine. Sad and pathetic. Tarheel_Dem Aug 2014 #113

No, suggesting one of the leading Progressive voices in America "sold his soul"... PoutrageFatigue Aug 2014 #114

Fuck Thom Hartmann. Tarheel_Dem Aug 2014 #115

Mighty progressive of you... PoutrageFatigue Aug 2014 #116

Hartmann doesn't represent the progressive left, just the Russian part. Tarheel_Dem Aug 2014 #117

Glad you crack yourself up... PoutrageFatigue Aug 2014 #118

I did, before he sold his soul. Tarheel_Dem Aug 2014 #119
