My problem with RT news channel

0 votes

Hi all !

I've noticed that often DP posts links to Russia Today (RT) videos and material. This news channel seems to cover what other US mass media do not...

on Wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RT_(TV_network) i read :
"Russia Today, is a globally broadcast English-language news channel from Russia, and the first all-digital Russian TV network, sponsored by the state owned Russian news agency RIA-Novosti"

Now this rings an alarm bell for me !
STATE owned RUSSIAN tv ? Covering on liberty movement in US , it makes me very, very suspicious about the news I'm getting from this source.

I would advise to be more speculative when getting news from this media

What are you thoughs ?

they kicked out the oligarch crooks

and are undergoing a nationalistic reawakening. dont forget that we tried to support georgia in their war with russia. that was incredibly arrogant and reckless. also u know who is not in charge.

How about Iranian TV

articles like this http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=36337&sectionid=351020101

I might be suspicious of the sources and their intentions but they are still providing a valuable commodity.

International Banking Cartel promoting unrest?

Just the thing they need for martial law and the NAU. All of the nations controlled by the IBC, such as America, stand to benifit from the NWO--they are one big family. If Patriots are truely up against international forces then there can be no victory. Have the Russian subs come for the us?

"There can be only one permanent revolution - a moral one: The regeneration of the inner man."
—Tolstoy

"The body is but a vessel for the soul,
A puppet which bends to the soul's tyranny.
And lo, the body is not eternal,
For it must feed on the flesh of others,
Lest it return to the dust whence it came.
Therefore the soul deceives and despises."

It seems to be a winning business model right now ...

If it proves success in the long run, our networks will gravitate towards that model.

You know what that means!!!!!!

More Ron Paul on MSM !!!!!!

Keep bumping it.

WAHOR!!

RT is one of the most prolific posters of videos on youtube..

I re-upload only a fraction of what they generate...never is it the end all, or gospel, just a piece of the puzzle...Think.

I think that RTV will cling

I think that RTV will cling onto anything that paints the USG in a less-than-favorable light while most of the US media either; a) won't touch a story because they don't understand it, or b) a story is deemed too "unAmerican" to cover.

I think RTV covers some stories that grasp our interest because we know everything is not a bucket of rose pedals. I don't think it's that different from how The Guardian covered political stories in the Bush years.

Sure better for us than the controlled western media

If they cover truths...that is nice...motive don´t matter...

This is a serious question

that seriously needs to be addressed and investigated. The only reason they are covering our movement is because their powers that be have instructed them to. I also wonder about the Russia-based Sorcha Faal dis-information.

Perhaps it's not dis-info, and they want to "show" that they have been "trying" to "help" us.

Either way, more investigation is needed. Thanks for raising this important issue.

For an informed citizenry, individuals must discard the television set in favor of the acquisition of information via either books and/or the internet. An uneducated populous will remain in ignorance and thus continue to suffer the sharp ax of tyranny.

Hello, This is your brain.

Hello,

This is your brain. Please use me for analytical thinking and discerning the validity of information. I do not like to be used to connect obvious disinformation agents with anyone attempting to tell some semblance of the truth. Even if the RT stuff has a motive behind it and tells 75% truth, use me, your brain, to discern the truth from the bull and disseminate the information to others. I am here to tell you that you are smarter than this and just because conspiracies and ulterior motives do exist, it does not mean that everything should be thrown out without the proper vetting of information just because you are scared to fall for a trick.

Use me, it's what I am here for.

Love,
Your Brain.

Hi Newbee of 3 hours and 4 minutes , welcome. If you have been

following the RT videos you will probably notice that the interviewers allow the guest to talk without butting in with their opinions and overspeak. This is refreshing compaired to our MSM programs.

It is my understanding

that the Russians are playing this elite game right along with our elites. So factor that into this equation somehow.

I'm so much more comforable with the way we do it...

You know, allow a few, choice billionaires to consolidate all the news organizations under a psuedo-government, propaganda machine where you are guaranteed never to hear a discouraging word.

So much for 'investigative journalism', eh?

I may not know the truth, but I know when I'm being lied to...

I may not know the truth, but I know when I'm being lied to...

Yep...

It makes for a fascinating story to watch unfold.
I've been on RT with the Blimp - I have to say
the love of Dr. Paul was real - but I agree, there
is a reason that it is promoted by them...the blowback,
however, will be to spread liberty over there...we hope?

I was thinking the same

I was thinking the same thing a couple of days ago about propaganda from a country who would like to see the dimming of our country. It is ironic that we are getting news from Russia that is more truthful than from our own media.

LOL Kubat....Putin kicked the Oligarchs OUT !

Now they can get news not under Kosher Nostra. Like your http://www.kommersant.com is still under.

and I enjoyed reading the comments, thanks.

patriotism or propaganda?

Maybe a lack of unity in the United States is to the advantage of the puppet masters who influence RT?

What if your thoughts and emotions are not genuinely your own?

Of course Russia Today, or

Of course Russia Today, or more precisely the Russian government, has ulterior motives when playing pieces that touch on topics in America. No channel in the world is pure. Every news source in existence has to have some editorial bias.

The Russian government wants to weaken the current government of the US, which has been creeping ever closer to the Russian border and has been aligned with "the oligarchs" since the end of the Cold War. We also want to weaken the current US government, though for different reasons. Like us, they realize that the most powerful weapon against an empire of lies is the truth.

Russia Today may broadcast crap about the US outside of its programming on the truth and freedom movement. I don't know since I've only watched the clips talking about us. Their coverage of this movement has been the best of any network in the world, with no close second. I'd be astonished if they covered their domestic news as honestly as I've seen them cover US news. I don't really care how they cover their domestic news. Russia is for the Russians. As long as they don't try to attack the mainland US, or hurt our citizens, I couldn't care less about what their intentions are in broadcasting honest coverage of our movement.

in USA Statue of Liberty is also owned by the state

journalists at RT are independent and myself having Russian friends I can say their coverage is far better than any other news outlet in the world.

Georgia war anyone?

Cold War revenge They don't

Cold War revenge

They don't even have to make anything up this time around :)

One should always know who

owns and controls the broadcast entity that they are watching a given news show on.

Given some of the content I have seen on these Russian TV news pieces, they are definitely providing a service that the corporatist "American" media is extremely lacking in.

Aside from the facts of the matter, I will let others speculate.
