Sep 2013

I'll avoid naming him to avoid making a call-out but he said,

"well, call me a commie, but I have been watching RT news and finding it very refreshing as opposed to the corporate owned media we are fed here in the grand USA on a daily basis, a diet that you apparently find to be delicious. Forget I said anything about our wonderful, corporate-approved "truth telling" media, I don't want to disturb you any further."

and

"Glad to see Al Jazeera America, but I like RT news better. I have been watching the new Al Jazeera America for 10 minutes, but I think it is a little boring to be honest. RT news is so much more energetic, interesting, and well, sexy, if you will. Al Jazeera America sees kind of like just another generic news channel so far. I'll stick with RT news for now. Channel 280 if you have Dish network.
