Anyone here watch RT? I need help.

I woke up this morning a bit late and cruised over to RT too late to catch Abby Martin and was assaulted by Arin Aid on Boom Bust with some freak from Cato talking about Argentina and defaulting on its debt. No mention of being sold into slavery by the IMF and World Bank, or that the only hold outs for negotiating the debt are vultures like Paul Singer.
I'm not sure I could put together a cogent and well informed smack down to this perky little pimp for Wall Street but I do believe it is required.
TIA

The U.S. Dollar Could Save Argentina

I have advocated dollarization in Argentina for over two decades

The whole tone of the discussion was just so far from reality it had me fuming.
