Some people in this country are so stuck in the last Century while the rest of the world moves on. I have to say I thought it was only on the Right that this paranoid fear of 'commies' was still present.
RT is a great news source, especially for Progressives who actually care about hearing Progressives voices on the air, finally, like Amy Goodman and investigative journalists like Greg Palast and Pepe Escobar, all censored by our own version of Pravda.
It is wonderful to be able to hear those voices finally. And without the screaming and yelling and constant commercial interruptions we get on the Corporate Media here.
They give voice to people across the political spectrum, and from all over the world. Crosstalk is one of the best political shows on the air. And the variety of viewpoints are something we just don't get here, leading to a country where half the population still votes for the most extreme rightwing party we've ever had.
No wonder RT is growing in popularity across this country and the rest of the world. The US media is among the least trusted anywhere since we learned how complicit they are in disseminating Corporate and MIC propaganda without a single challenge and since they removed all Progressive voices from the air.
