Did you really mean to insult the intelligence of DUers that way?
Wrt to RT, several DUers are regular guests on RT. I wish our totally unbiased
MSM would eg, give people like Amy Goodman a voice (thank YOU RT) or DUer Thom Hartmann (again thank you RT) or other DUers like David Swanson, Steven Leser eg, DUer, Max Keiser (thank you again RT)but our MSM is so totally NOT biased when it comes to our foreign policy
that there has to be some legitimate reason for why they block the voices of such people. Imagine we have to go to RT to hear liberal voices such as the above mentioned, people we have known throughout the Bush years to have been accurate in their reporting of those years.
RT has been an excellent additional source of news along with Al Jazeera (also declared biased and banned from the US still) not to mention all the foreign press, particularly the African media and blogs wrt to the Libyan situation. The African media and the voices of many of Africa's leaders during the whole Libyan tragedy, were eye-opening to anyone in the US who depends on our media for their news.
I love RT. They have some great documentaries, excellent discussion shows with people from all over the world and from across the political spectrum. With few ads the discussions are long and in depth, with varied viewpoints but no one being shouted down or cut off.
I hope we see more of this kind of broadcasting in this country. Our media is currently listed at #47 of the World's Free Press. I think we are badly in need of reform in that area.
