Without that clip of me saying U.S. government figures projecting the growth of tech sector employment through 2020 relied on questionable methods, Putin's regime would have been toppled by now.

there are chinese, iranian, and north korean propaganda outlets that operate openly in the US too, the Russians just have a century of experience in propaganda-crafting that makes them a lot better at it

Yah, I never expected that we would round up RT anchors and toss them in prison, but the diff is that all those other examples ou mentioned aren't included in your average digital cable package next to telemumdo and ten different versions of the shopping network

If North Korea plastered U.S.college campuses with posters for its international propaganda service then it would be news, but when Moscow does it people don't care.

My favorite RT thing is how they kept saying forums poster Brown Moses is a hack and doesn't know anything about what he's talking about with regard to MH17 and the war in Ukraine.

Repeatedly. Almost daily. DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS GUY HE KNOWS NOTHING.

He was even... unemployed... Would you trust an unemployed person?

If you really are so far down the leftie rabbit hole that you need a state-sponsored news outlet not in the grip of the International Jew to sate your lust for Clinton blood, why not watch BBC? RT is run by the ex-psyops dudes from KGB and actively tries to undermine Western democracy from within for the benefit of authoritarian oligarchs. BBC otoh is run by a bunch of mild-mannered dudes who like to cover up for paedophiles but are otherwise pretty benign and straight with their reporting.

it's not a rhetorical question, for politely saying 'you are an idiot, you don't know what you are talking about'


Russia is capitalist now, so we won. This Is Okay. It is cool&good for their media organizations to slather our youth in propaganda, as long as they make a profit doing it.

They're right though, brown moses being associated with SA is an embarrassment to the forums (which is saying a lot) and he is a hack and his 'journalism' is a bad joke

so is the online casual anti-semitism in here and /pol/ and stuff something to be worried about? I never had any kind of desire to move to Israel, but if the USA starts slapping stars on jews and crescents on muslims then that's probably the best place to head. at least they won't go quietly

I dont have it in my package but judging by the screenshots you're still gonna end up with more "news", biased or not, than if you watched any US media. Same could be said of the economist but with a corporatist message. US media is the People magazine of news reporting.

if Russia Today called itself like "News Today" or something like that it would get a lot more respect. Fox News doesn't call itself "Saudi Arabia Today" because they aren't stupid.

also lol at Al Jazeera. Why not just name your network "Jihad Broadcasting Inc"? No Americans are going to take seriously a network that sounds like the name of Al Queda's top bombmaker or whatever

The hilarious/depressing part is that AJ completely altered the news that they were reporting to be less about real news and more of the mass-produced garbage that CNN/Fox puts out, but only for the American broadcast. It's the same thing that Time Magazine does. If they had kept reporting real news then at least some people would have kept reading it in the same way that some people read BBC News. But no, gotta get that market
