naw.... and one might say, Fox news isn't owned by the Government so that doesn't count.

But they are owned by Corporations who are trying as hard as they can to run the whole government or drown it, or use the media, including those 'liberal' ones, to start illegal wars like Iraq. So there really isn't all that much difference.

When I do watch RT, I take it with large bags of salt like I do when I watched CNN or MSNBC or any of those.

Thom Hartmann is on RT, he's alright.
