...we'll start to consider to think about some day entertaining the proposal to take RT's advice on the media controlling perceptions.


RT's neo-nazi fake-expert on Ukraine, still proudly on RT's website

You don't get it. First of all, as analysis, "factually correct" doesn't cut it--it's the spin, the lies embedded in the "factually correct", and yes, the source. Putin has closed down the independent news in Russia. Russian TV news is like FOX TV on every channel. The newspapers likewise are under his thumb. Journalists are being assassinated, beaten and jailed. The media perception is Russia is tightly controlled by the government--and you want us to listen to Putin TV lecture the USA on the subject?

BTW You folks that post RT vids on DU always defend them the same way, some variation on "but is it factually correct" or "don't judge the source, judge the info." Be careful, you don't want to be mistaken for a paid troll.
