Here's how you can show Hartman is not influenced by RT

55. I didn't accuse Hartman of anything

I'm responding to claims that he couldn't possibly be influenced by RT that began in response to posters' fact checking blatantly untruths attributed to Hartman in this thread. https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=9428778

In my OP I make clear that I do not listen to Hartman and therefore can't speak directly to any editorial bias. I did, however, read that thread, and I have seen the subsequent efforts to deflect from the blatantly false claims about promises from Reagan. We then were told that daring to fact check was "unprogrsssive" (reminiscent of unAmerican) and signs of disloyalty.

Then we saw contorted arguments that enormous sums from the Kremlin's propaganda arm couldn't possibly influence his editorial comment. So in response to those arguments, it seemed to me it should be very easy to point to some coverage of the NUMBER ONE NEWS STORY in the country since the election.

Your responses acknowledge there is no such coverage, and you again turn to deflection. It's not convincing.

The intellectual dishonesty in all of this has been truly impressive, as is the undying devotion to the wealthy and powerful. Of course we've seen it in other instances, but now we see it extends far more broadly. I'm trying to imagine what Karl Marx would think if he knew, 175 years after he wrote his seminal works, that the term socialism would be invoked to prop up the rich and powerful.
