I do go after RT videos, especially when they are posted by obvious supporters of Putin and there are plenty of other sources for the same info that could be posted. (I usually give Hartmann RT vids a pass, even though it's a crying shame he's been forced into that corner. Liz Wahl and Sara Firth did the honorable thing re RT, it's too bad Hartmann hasn't.) IMO there is little to no reason to ever post an RT video, since the same info, without the pro-Kremlin spin/implication, can be found elsewhere; indeed even Hartmann has his radio shows on video and those could be posted instead.
McCarthy was a unprincipled thug. JFK's Cold War liberalism was something else. Anyway, we won't have to go there because Putin's Russia, no matter how bad it's getting, is in nowhere near the power position of Soviet Russia.
