Really upset when I read about this on HuffPost; they are not just supporting it but were involved in setting it up. Its basically a Russian propaganda outlet being funded by an American company. Being supported by Direct TV (although it is also on Verizon Fios) which is owned by AT&T although the satellite service was supposedly spun off. Also own CNN which explains some of the hysteria about Biden on that channel, which keeps dragging people like Christie and Sanctorum on for "Balance". Really time to get off cable. I just bought some AT&T landline phones, unfortunately too late to return them or I would.
