25. That is a very nutty theory.

RT is Russian TV. But Assange went there after other venues were closed to him.

RT is just another news source that transmits somewhat biased information. At least its name leaves no doubt what its bias is.

Fox News, on the other hand, is also a biased media organization -- and it pretend to have no bias whatsoever.

I listen to RT and take their reports with a grain of salt, regardless who reads them.

I don't listen to Fox News if I can possibly help it. A grain of salt isn't enough seasoning to make Fox News palatable.

That the people who have shows or appear for RT have any particular affection for Russia is not an assumption you can make.

Max Keiser also had a show on RT. I don't know what he is politically, but he certainly is no Putin supporter. Same for Thom Hartmann.

Hey! RT employs newscasters of different points of view. At least it challenges you to think critically, unlike Fox News.
