Speaking of Russia Today:

Don’t be fooled – Russia Today is trash

Take a venture into the sometimes enlightening, often depressing, world of online activism and journalism and it’s likely you’ll see clips from a news organisation called Russia Today. This organisation paints a grim picture of the United States – in the world of Russia Today, the USA is an oligarchical tyranny, where the establishment conspires to silence brave truth-telling crusaders.

You’ll see cynical and almost always conspiratorial reports of groups the “the Bilderberg group”, who seek, ostensibly, world domination. Take a gander through the various videos the organisation has published on Youtube and you’ll see a bizarre combination of Syrian regime apologism, anti-American hysteria, and embarrassing populist pandering, not to mention the 9/11 conspiracy theory peddlers who frequent its airwaves.

To an outside observer stumbling upon Russia Today, you would be forgiven for thinking that the organisation is a brave one, shining a glimmer of light into the murky depths of Western hypocrisy. Wikileaks editor Julian Assange even presents a show on the news station – kudos to them for giving him a platform.

But Russia Today has an agenda, an agenda easy to work out from five minutes of basic research online. The network is owned by RIA Novosti, the Russian news agency 100% owned by the Russian government. Initially founded during the Second World War as the Soviet Information Bureau, RIA Novosti has transformed into an international, glitzy news agency, and Russia Today is their baby. Lets be clear about this – this is a news station owned (and undoubtedly influenced) by a government that has murdered journalists and political opponents, acts in a framework of institutionalised corruption, rigged elections, and committed war crimes against the Chechen people. This government is no friend of freedom and democracy, yet you would think that it is – from the trendy, glitzy, and anti-establishment Russia Today.

1. This Alex Jones fellow...

...is quite fascinating to some, apparently. To others (read: most), he's a clown.

2. I've chatted with Alex Jones in the past.

He's full of bluster and as soon as he realizes that you are aware of the facts, he will disappear like a Fart in a Windstorm.

3. Hes never wanted thinkers..

just worshippers to tell him how right he is with their own delusional paranoid fears :p

he should really go back to chasing that damn owl in the redwoods that those republicans are always dancin' around makin sacrifices to

Edit : thanks for the 'owl' correction.. doesn't help if the typo is another actual word lol

He would fit-in perfectly. Perhaps He, Poppy and Dick Cheney can do a threesome.

5. And the ones who call us "sheep" still watch RT...

It amazes some. Just saw a Thom Hartman show about America's lack of a free press. This came from RT, the PINNACLE of not having a free press.

Our press is, and always will be, free. The 1st has has NEVER been exclusive to the MSM, but the right of the people to publish what they want.

6. Sounds like a campaign to get RT banned from DU.

Soon I guess the only thing we can see is MSM.

8. Sure seems that way doesn't it?

Most curious. I see a lot of anti-RT threads lately. As far as I'm concerned, if it's good enough for Thom Hartmann, it's good enough for me.
