Why are so many here saying Russian propaganda is ok? [View all]
Yes, it's another fucking Hartmann thread, but sweet Jeebus on a pogo stick, I didn't think it'd be so hard to get the point across. Russia is our enemy, folks. They attacked our election and played a huge role in installing trump as President. If that's fine with you, stop defending RT here, as you don't belong on a message board dedicated to electing Democratic candidates and forwarding Democratic Party ideals.
RT is state sanctioned and state run propaganda for Putin.
Not all propaganda will sound obvious. I do not expect every show on RT to say "America is yankee pig dog and Mother Russia is great". They use subtly crafted messages. Hell, even if they just don't cover certain stories, that itself is manipulation.
Thom Hartmann has a relationship with RT, I don't care what it is. Hartmann claims to exert 100% editorial control over the content of his show. Would you expect him to admit to running everything by Putin before it goes to air? If he is so separated from RT control why does he accept anything from them, be it money or airtime on their network?
He reads DU and mentions posts from DU on his radio show. Why doesn't he come on here and defend or explain himself. I enjoyed his show for years and finally left a few years ago. That decision was proven right after Russia ratfucked our election.
