1. Of course he does...

and his followers do too.

2. They're all sold out to Vlad

3. I remember RT was linked-to here quite frequently...

... it would be interesting to know the exact number of times. (I doubt it would be as many as 400, though.)

4. I can't say for sure how many times it was linked to, say, as an OP, but...

…a simple site search with just RT in the field yields 194,000 results, for what it's worth.

7. There were a lot of posts that discussed "RT"...

... and that may be contributing to the high number. And, there are a lot of words that include the RT letter combination. Sport. Avert. Concert. Passport. Airport Expert. So, it could be that your search found those words too.

Thanks for the info!

8. You're welcome!

Since I don't have my star, I can't do the whiz-bang advanced search to nail down the real RT number.

10. I remember friends on facebook were very excited about it, they thought it told them

"the truth" about the DNC etc.

I hadn't heard of it, and thought a couple of articles posted the little brother of a friend sounded funny. Was shocked to find out who and what they were.

The little bro was also rather chastised, poor kid, he really wanted to believe the things they were pushing, but they were easily debunked.

Don't think the facts really penetrated his mind, but he was a bit more skeptical about RT.

5. He knows his readers. Nt

6. Having graduated HS in the bottom 5% and failed his own Bar Mitzvah, he did OK. Why the sellout?

.

The American Way benefited this asshole quite well, being one stupid motherfucker.

Why did he have to sell out to Russia?



Oh, that's right... The Party of Reagan!

9. Lots of people seem to love Matt Drudge, RT and Sputnik.

Anything that tells them whatever propaganda they'd like to hear. They play all sides and were very active in the last cycle against a single candidate.

11. This is big enough news that Daily Caller is calling it a pro-Clinton conspiracy.

They'd ignore it, of course, if they thought they could.
