(53,661 posts)Because it's in the interest of Russian oligarchs and a few American ones, too?
They gave a venue to Alex Jones as Russians like the themes on Inforwars tjat paintthem as the victim of the evil USA. But they don't go nuts over it.
A search on RT's youtube yields a familiar theme:
Alex Jones: Al-Qaeda created by CIA
Uploaded on Mar 29, 2011
There is an increasing pressure from lawmakers in Washington, as well as from the American public for President Obama to be more specific in the strategy for Libya. Radio host Alex Jones however argues there is more to it than an American/Obama agenda. He compared the situation with the US missions in Iraq, Rwanda and Serbia, where, he alleged, Al-Qaeda was created by the CIA and used to fight Serbs all as a part of an overall globalist agenda of the New World Order.
P. S. Last week Alex said that Obama created the Boko Harum, too. What a busy man, a supernatural entity, because he is most definitely everywhere, like God or the Anti-Christ.
What Alex Jones said was debunked here:
Bin Laden was never trained by the CIA. That misinformation gets repeated constantly here.

Bin Laden complained because he didn't receive any CIA money or training.

Oh, yes, no right wing nut bias at RT. And she says this with a straight face:
"Overthrow our tyrannical government!1!!".
Can you say.. .Birchers, Libertarian, GOP, Tea Party three times real fast?
I'm wondering if the Koch brothers fund this outfit. It is really slick stuff. I even liked the cool music. The content was pure rightwing nuttery and sick.

ISS crew members were asked whether US-EU-Russia tensions over Ukraine influenced their relations. Here is their emphatic answer.
While space has long remained politics-free, NASAs Reid Wiseman, ESAs Alexander Gerst, and commander Maksim Suraev of Russias Roscosmos could not escape questions on how their personal relations have been affected by the tensions between the world powers on Ukraine, which have already endangered US-Russian space cooperation.
Because of the events in Ukraine that we all know about, the relationship between the United States, Russia and Germany became pretty tense. Do you feel this tension on the level of your team? a journalist from Russian TV channel NTV asked the crew of three.
Instead of going into detail, the three astronauts stood up and hugged each other.
This is our answer, astronaut Wiseman said in Russian.
Yes, this is our answer for everyone to see, cosmonaut Suraev added.
The commander then gathered his crew for a collective selfie, promising that they will all be tweeting from orbit.

(3,169 posts)They must be scared of the kinds of impact that knowledge of the larger protest movement could have if it were more widely known in the US.
Maybe they are afraid of awakening a truly global beast, or perhaps the influence of US protests is magnified somehow, especially since they are a US company. Perhaps the divide an conquer aspect has some attraction to the suits who are undoubtedly manipulating all this.
The law requiring companies to be as profitable as possible certainly seems to need some tweaks so that companies can do that within the boundaries of ethics and safety.

It can take great effort and time to watch RT... Time Warner Cable carries it in many cities...but, you have to be a high tier subscriber to get it.
I watch it by hitting "reload to get the connection" If you wait a bit...sometimes it will reconnect and you won't lose what you were watching. They know about the problem, it seems, and allow a few extra seconds for reconnect. But...that doesn't always work for every show and the topic being discussed.
It's either that they have huge amount of viewers if you watch it "Non Cable" or they are being purposefully delayed.
But...yes...it's a problem for those who watch it online or through our Boxes. But...the work around is reconnect or wait a bit if you experience problems with it.
Deliberate slow internet for "certain Sites" but, not for others is my conclusion. But, we live in America and we have the BEST OF EVERYTHING... High Speed Internet for ALL!
I think some videos are purposefully delayed or obstructed altogether.
I have to watch everything online, don't have any other devices. Internet on low speed DSL is costly enough... most things are pretty fast but I have to use it for communication, job hunting and news. (I'm in a remote location). On top of that, the centurylunk-heads keep trying to convince me that I should be bundling so I can have faster interwebs... but , bundle what? I have my computer... and nothing else to bundle, so they "throttle" my service to try and convince me that I need to upgrade for more $$. But they just jacked up my monthly rate by almost $10 without warning.
Capitalism, it has no direct correlation to anything positive for humankind... or any other species either.
Oh well, I'll have to try again when I have the patience. Thanks.

RT? Why do you want the Russian government telling you what to think and feel.
Just don't forget: Advertisement works and corporate media is an advertisement for the interests of it's owners.
