1. Strange. I get shit on for posting RT vids.

Straight outta Putin's dept of propaganda, I'm told.

[Enthusiast]

3. Yeah.

Putin wrote the script for Chris.

What he said was 100% accurate. It's verboten on US TV.

[uhnope]

6. It's referred to as "the truth in service of a lie"

That's why you get "shit on" for posting RT. Same as if you posted to a KKK News video with Hedges saying the same thing.

[KoKo]

11. It's the LIE ...Trying to Pretend it's the TRUTH....

You got it backwards.....imho.

[uhnope]

12. yr words are inscrutable

Care to explain what you mean? My point was, even if what Hedges is speaking the truth, that truth is being used in the service of the lie that is RT.

What was your point?

[wildbilln864]

14. can you....

name a mainstream news service not in service of a lie?

[uhnope]

16. another "two wrongs make a right" argument

fail

[mother earth]

17. And for those very reasons, two wrongs not making a right, is why we need voices like Hedges &

Hartmann to speak out on whatever venues they are still able to.

You don't like RT because you don't like Putin, the same could be held true for leaders here who profess democracy but practice the corporatism our so called democracy has evolved into.

I understand your feelings about RT, and so it is difficult to fathom why our own version of RT (MSM) gets a pass on the very issues of "truth" that you have no problem defending, but only if the narrative suits you. It's quite telling. The swinging door of truth and a free press, you are right, two wrongs don't make a right, now work on that.

[uhnope]

22. Wrong. The equivalent to RT in the USA is FOX

Would you send someone to FOX for some supposedly suppressed truth? I don't think so. if Hedges was on there, would it be okay???

[mother earth]

23. No, not at all, Fox speaks it's own propaganda and MSM in general all speak the same storylines &

absolutely nothing strays from the narrative. There is no independent journalism. At least RT offers an alternative from a wide variety, none of which are all speaking the same "storylines", it's called diversity & differing views, apparently which is exactly what you would have squelched here at home, and thanks to MSM it has already been done.

No matter where Hedges is & Hartmann, for that matter, they speak the truth, therein lies the difference which ends your argument, my friend.

Frankly, we owe a debt of gratitude to all the truth tellers, wherever they are, the alternatives that actually expose the false narratives, RT just has the good sense to include some of these voices. I don't think you give people enough credit for discernment or intellect. But, hey, you seem hell bent on slamming RT, so pardon my interruption.

[uhnope]

24. so you're saying FOX progaganda is OK and so is RT propaganda

I doubt most progressives agree with you on that.

You also say it doesn't matter where a "truth teller" appears, so that means they could appear at a KKK meeting, or a Nazi rally, and that would be okay with you. That's appalling. You should rethink that, because the reality is the opposite.

[wildbilln864]

20. Yes you do fail! I don't really care who gets the word out to the people

as long as someone does! So get over it and deal.

[mother earth]

13. As opposed to what, the lie of omission practiced at home?

Any JLaw news you want to share?

[uhnope]

15. another "two wrongs make a right" argument

Fail

[mother earth]

18. See #17. nt

[Enthusiast]

2. Kicked and recommended!

Chris is sounding less radical every day. How can anyone even dispute what he says?

[ballyhoo]

4. Hedges gets it. He gets everything about it. And he knows

what has to be done--right now!. Acts of civil disobedience as though the actors were fighting for their very lives. We need another 1968 Chicago Democratic National Convention with serious people in the streets with only those ready to participate to the fullest beyond garish signs and impromptu rock concerts.

[geretogo]

5. Hedges is the modern day Paul Revere . Have you ever seen him on the Sunday morning talk shows ?

The Corporate media makes sure he stays muzzled .

[uhnope]

7. when RT does a story on president-for-life Putin's coup d'etat against democracy in Russia

I might stop thinking they are full of it

[KoKo]

10. You didn't watch it...you wanted to diss the Source. When you watch it.....

get back on the thread and tell us if you disagreed and why.

Without your viewing you seem to display yourself as someone who wants to deny people watching media from all sources. You seem to want to only watch media from "Approved MSM Sources" to be posted here on DU.

Watch it...and tell us what you think on this thread. Or are you for Book Banning and Restrictions on what American's Watch?

Isn't DEMOCRACY being able to be FREE to WATCH, READ and DISCUSS Opinions from ALL MEDIA.

WHY do you feel that "Intelligent People" should be denied ACCESS to GLOBAL MEDIA? Their Views and Chris Hedges is an AMERICAN .....yet you would deny those listening to him on "alternate Global Media?"

[uhnope]

21. No, I WON'T go to RT, FOX, KKK-TV, Stormfront, North Korea State news

How dare you pollute the issue by suggesting I do so.
and your shilling for Putin is really getting old.

[cantbeserious]

8. Well Spoken And Well Reasoned As Always

eom

[KoKo]

9. Recommend...Best Interview I've seen with Chris Hedges...and explains

so much.

[wildbilln864]

19. k & r! Thanks for posting this! n/t
