Do It right DU : RT banned from /r/news section of Reddit. [View all] Sand Wind Sep 2013 OP

Prep for WW III.... Junkdrawer Sep 2013 #1

RT is already banned from LBN - unreliable source. Billy Love Sep 2013 #2

Not actually banned from LBN dipsydoodle Sep 2013 #5

It is pretty much banned for LBN. hrmjustin Sep 2013 #70

You are an LBN host. dipsydoodle Sep 2013 #72

Another LBN host 2nd's hrmjustin. nt William769 Sep 2013 #74

That's inevitable. dipsydoodle Sep 2013 #76

LBN Host confirms rule. Hey, people are still free to post RT sourced stuff in GD or Politics 2013. NYC_SKP Sep 2013 #84

I'm aware of that dipsydoodle Sep 2013 #86

FWIW, it was never a big issue for me. NYC_SKP Sep 2013 #87

Why do YOU want Russia Today banned by this site? David__77 Sep 2013 #3

Kremlin mouthpiece. Nt Sand Wind Sep 2013 #9

How... insubstantial. David__77 Sep 2013 #13

See #10 and 12. Sand Wind Sep 2013 #14

Where do you think those anti gay policies and vicious rhetoric come from, the Bolshoi? Bluenorthwest Sep 2013 #20

That doesn't mean that the OP thinks that's why it should be banned. That was my question. David__77 Sep 2013 #21

So you 'don't agree' but still think those who foist those hateful policies are trustworthy sources? Bluenorthwest Sep 2013 #28

No, that's not true. David__77 Sep 2013 #30

I think it should be because of the scores of Russia Today articles that I've read Kurska Sep 2013 #22

+100 nt Sand Wind Sep 2013 #54

Banning sights sounds a lot like part of the conservative agenda. rhett o rick Sep 2013 #90

There are some people who tend to post TomClash Sep 2013 #34

Why not ban FOX News first as a corporate/MIC mouthpeice....? grahamhgreen Sep 2013 #78

The problem with banning sources... HooptieWagon Sep 2013 #4

Most RT's stuff is just straight forward unspun news anyway. dipsydoodle Sep 2013 #6

Exactly. HooptieWagon Sep 2013 #8

Why are some DU'ers so torqued about it? Because it's the only source claiming false flag in Syria. KittyWampus Sep 2013 #7

I think it goes far beyond all that. David__77 Sep 2013 #11

We agree with each other, then. KittyWampus Sep 2013 #16

So that's it. Questioning the source of the Syrian Gas attack will be verboten soon.... Junkdrawer Sep 2013 #25

Got a link for that? MattSh Sep 2013 #61

Thank you. nt DevonRex Sep 2013 #79

Well, that, and how are we gonna have our daily hissyfits without hot unsourced made up lies? NYC_SKP Sep 2013 #85

RT is like PRESS TV in Iran or GRANMA in Cuba -- it's pure bullshit, MADem Sep 2013 #10

Exactly, we should quote them uniquely when we want to show what their leader want to express. Sand Wind Sep 2013 #12

+1 n/t FSogol Sep 2013 #15

Yup... SidDithers Sep 2013 #43

Did you forget a link to your source, RT.com? Lasher Sep 2013 #17

I was seeing the paradox, and ask myself if some one will notice.... Sand Wind Sep 2013 #18

The fact that RT sees fit to make Reddit's decision sufrommich Sep 2013 #23

Well now that is interesting. David__77 Sep 2013 #26

And again you dig that Kremlin no matter how viciously they attack gay people. Good for you. Bluenorthwest Sep 2013 #29

There's gonna be a really long list of media to ban if that's the right metric. David__77 Sep 2013 #31

Are we really going to conflate War and Peace with Gay Rights? Junkdrawer Sep 2013 #32

But they'll give you "free conversion therapy." DevonRex Sep 2013 #80

generally, I put the same trust in RT as I do in US MSM. KG Sep 2013 #19

Isn't reddit more like lounge material ? jakeXT Sep 2013 #24

Not the news sections. Reddit is huge, news has over 1 million subscribers, world news over 3 mill The Straight Story Sep 2013 #39

I just went to their main section jakeXT Sep 2013 #41

I stay away form the main (except when I have the top story) The Straight Story Sep 2013 #44

Is it just my impression or do news,politics and worldnews have less recs than pics ? jakeXT Sep 2013 #52

Generally yes, most voted on are usually the pics and such on a broad scale The Straight Story Sep 2013 #53

I think I'll stay out of board politics...lol jakeXT Sep 2013 #55

Indeed, I stay out of them as well. One other thing I that I do hate there The Straight Story Sep 2013 #56

I'm sure the US gov will be pleased. Less people reading Russian news is good. L0oniX Sep 2013 #27

there is no question that RT is biased and has an agenda. That's obvious. But can ANYONE watch CNN Douglas Carpenter Sep 2013 #33

I'm 60 yrs old. I'm perfectly capable of listening to ALL sides and filtering agendas.... Junkdrawer Sep 2013 #35

Thank you. nt woo me with science Sep 2013 #38

Indeed. onyourleft Sep 2013 #59

Me too. nt snappyturtle Sep 2013 #77

Strange that RT.com suddenly has reliability problems about the same time RC Sep 2013 #36

Eh... David__77 Sep 2013 #37

Just some. RC Sep 2013 #58

To be fair, VOA and BBC should be banned too nadinbrzezinski Sep 2013 #40

VOA clearly, BBC got a huge history of being independant, if not a lot of time against Sand Wind Sep 2013 #42

They do at times nadinbrzezinski Sep 2013 #45

RT was created to put forward the Kremlin point of view muriel_volestrangler Sep 2013 #46

Except that you found this on RT Wikipedia : Sand Wind Sep 2013 #47

Look at the VOA mission nadinbrzezinski Sep 2013 #48

I understand...thanks for the civil discussion . Nt Sand Wind Sep 2013 #49

Wait, you're quoting a defector? MattSh Sep 2013 #62

I saw some people here quoting Snowden, so I said to myself : why not ? Nt Sand Wind Sep 2013 #65

The article that prompted the ban was also carried by Reuters bananas Sep 2013 #57

Interesting nadinbrzezinski Sep 2013 #66

Public broadcasting and outright state mouthpieces are two slightly different things. (nt) Posteritatis Sep 2013 #60

VOA is a state piece. Believe it or not rt falls in the category of BBC nadinbrzezinski Sep 2013 #63

It's a pity. ocpagu Sep 2013 #50

+Infinity MattSh Sep 2013 #64

I like RT, and I can filter out the pro-Putin bias... tokenlib Sep 2013 #67

Is reddit the same as ribbit dipsydoodle Sep 2013 #51

FYI RT is not appropriate in LBN as well. hrmjustin Sep 2013 #68

Meh, never heard of Reddit, sounds like just another stupid social site quinnox Sep 2013 #69

The 50s called and McCarthy needs you back in the office .... nt TBF Sep 2013 #71

Get rid of Reddit. rug Sep 2013 #73

La la la la ... I can't hear you !!! libdem4life Sep 2013 #75

Does that mean we have to ban Thom Hartmann too? n/t backscatter712 Sep 2013 #81

DU's Steve Leser Interviewed on RTAmerica along with Howard Dean, Jimmy Carter and KoKo Sep 2013 #89

Kind of a stupid reason to ban Warpy Sep 2013 #82

Let's not get "ban happy" plez. nm rhett o rick Sep 2013 #83

RT is just the beginning Union Scribe Sep 2013 #88
