RT or Infowars? II (You be the judge...)

[cthulu2016]

12. Of course there are some valid things

The whole point of RT is to co-opt he American left, and that cannot be done without some worthwhile appeal to the American left.

And know they are cashing in their chips. Their investment is returning dividends in the form of some on the American left actually not getting that they have been played.

American government funded international media is the same. It's not all worthless. It is fine a lot of the time... even objective a lot of the time... just not on any topic of vital national interest to the USA.

If there was NO reason to watch, it would fail at its job.

Hell, Tokyo Rose played good music. (For real. By all accounts the Japanese disinformation radio was an excellent music channel. But everyone knew the periodic "war news" was bullshit, and why.)

Anything RT says about Ukraine or Syria is being said only because it promotes the Russian government's interests. If it did not, it would not be said.

Then people say, but this datum is true, and that datum is true. Well, yeah... just like Colin Powell at the UN. Many things he said were true. Propaganda is an editor's medium. It is largely about viewpoint through selection of data.
