RT's 'Occupy' coverage nominated for Emmy news award

http://rt.com/news/rt-nomination-emmy-news-276/

RT has been nominated for the International Emmy Award in the news category for its coverage of the Occupy Wall Street movement which began in New York last year. RT was one the first channels to thoroughly report about OWS.

RT has been closely following the OWS movement and continues to report on their domestic and global developments from its Moscow and Washington studios in English, Arabic and Spanish.

Two years ago RT became the first Russian channel to be the finalist for the Emmy award in the news category.

We know the MSM didn't accidentally 'miss' the story, and when forced to cover it, did so superficially; so it looks good on them. RT did the best job covering and and analyzing it, without spending a pile of cash, or bowing down to Washington 'experts' and insiders, and they typically interviewed the people that matter: the occupiers involved.
