Nothing can change the fact that one person's opinion on the internet, is just that, one person's opinion.
You should never feel threatened by information, IF you are on the right side of the issues. The only time people feel threatened by a free and open press, where all sides are presented and considered, as Wing Nuts did by Al Jazeera, is when they know they are not on solid ground regarding where they stand.
Thomas Jefferson, to whom the press was often pretty brutal, still defended it against any kind of censorship, because he knew how important it was to hear all voices IF democracy was to survive.
However, if you feel this threatened by RT, or Al Jazeera, or any other media outlets, stop complaining about it here, contact John McCain, Paul Ryan, Sarah Palin, Boehner et al and ask that they demand that the media corps remove RT from their lineups, I have no doubt they would be more than willing to oblige.
Clear Channel did it to the Dixie Chicks. We on the Left however, went out and bought their music, to counter the Right Wingers' attempt to destroy them simply because they did not agree with them.
No point in whining here about RT, do something about it. There is a whole Political Party who agree with you on this.
