The RT network is the only network that has propaganda [View all]

You'll never hear any opinions that are dangerous to our country on Fox, or Breitbart, or CNBC, or NBC, ABC, CBS, Sinclair, Viacom, Comcast, Time Warner. They are, or are owned by, huge multinational corporations that are often also war racketeers. So you can listen to and trust everything you hear on those networks. But make sure you never listen to or watch anything on RT, because that's where all the propaganda is.

Do I have that right now? That's the message of the week? Just making sure my two minutes hate is aimed properly in the right direction.
