53. Valid but irrlevant points; his slam is for them conflating Trump with Putin using RT
Fri Sep 9, 2016, 09:56 PM
Sep 2016

news interview. that is the stupidity here. They are as valid as any other news organization to interview Trump.

These hacks into the DNC are not clear who did it at this point. It could be Russia. I would also suspect the Republican party. They did hack the Democrats in the House and Senate computers back during Bu$hitCo's years, as I recall.

The other problem is this information that was hacked as not been shown to be false. It was true! Oppps!

Now, I think Trump has something going on with either Putin or Russian oligarchic (re: criminal) interests for his business deals/funding and he is very suspect for that. Yet all we keep hearing is Hillary's emails or some half assed hack of mysterious origins. Where is the real investigation into Trump?? Given the state of our media and politics, we may never know.

All people can do here is try to make this mole hill into some russian-commie mountain while there is much good information and programs available on RT News. We just cut off our own noses for little petty bullshit and dubious gains.

I'll take the information I see on RT like Thom Hartmann or Christpher Hayes or Ed Shultx (who has really reported on the Indian protests on the pipeline) over any shit form the American MSM. For American news I would take Colbert or the Daily Show or Larry Wilmore show (RIP) or BBC News any day.
