3. This post and link are ridiculous

RT is an Russian government mouthpiece. They are funded by the Kremlin - their sole purpose is to broadcast propaganda in the English language. For those who might not be aware, the Russian press (especially on television) has been mostly bought out by the regime or cowed into submission. Views critical of Russia's authoritarian system and those who run it really don't air on television there (they are a more prevalent online, but most Russians get their news from television). RT would NEVER broadcast ANYTHING critical of the United Russia clique that controls it. For them to criticize real news outlets goes beyond hypocrisy into the realm of the absurd, especially since there has been extensive coverage in the US media on the Wisconsin situation for weeks now.

This is pure, unadulterated bullshit.

12. They aren't even in the same ballpark

You hear plenty of criticism of US government policies from US media outlets. You don't get that from Russian media outlets, because they have been co-opted by the state. The discrepancy is all the worse because the United States is a functioning democracy, while Russia has an authoritarian regime.

5. What You Said About RT May be True

but that does not imply that the content is bullshit. In fact, the storyline is kind a low-hanging fruit that anyone could have reported on.

6. When a person with BO CREDIBLY disses your smell...

It's time to change deodorants.

7. We just did "change" the deodorant.

Yet it still stinks like the last administration FAR too often.

8. I wonder how many countries see it the same way

"As Lauren Lyster reports, while U.S. leaders fly the flag for popular uprisings thousands of miles away, it's a very different story at home."

9. Remember when *our* media used top report on the Soviet state

neswspaper and broadcast media that reported only state-approved propaganda? How ironically reversed it is now!
