Both have the same source of funding and the same hierarchy of control. That fact is not mitigated by the quality of our media. I think folks who are 'aware' that our media sucks who defend RT are chumps of the first and most foolish division.
Look at what you are trying to minimize here. Jews to blame for the Holocaust. Chumps of the first division.
Like folks who think FoxNews is balanced and CNN is the Commie News Network. Chumps.
