Sabrina was probably referring to RT's reach at the time. The context of her message is quite interesting, BTW. The thread was about the Neonazis who would soon play a decisive and bloody role in Kiev. The first response? A vapid dismissal trying to disrupt a discussion about:
The Ukrainian protesters clashed with police in Kiev after nearly 10,000 people took part in an anti-government demonstration at Maidan, or Independence Square, on January 18-19.
