No. Because you're a fucking retard.

It's not state controlled media. Its parent company is publicly traded and the Russian govt is majority shareholder. They have no editorial control. RT is the most popular TV network
on the Internet.

Plus I am not some Ann Rand libertarian like you are apparently. I think each respective state should have its own media. Government and state are a reality of our world. Does every state have to hand its media to Rupert Murdoch to have legitimacy ? That's insane

No different than BBC or CBC. CNN tows the line of the US state department , hook , line and sinker. You know this right

Harry's favorite but back-numbered record player. Didn't you forget to prepend one word "deep"?

Having a BBC or an ABC (australia) Isn't a bad thing in a democratic country provided there are commercial private alternatives. Remember these government media outlets are nominally politically neutral in a democracy. (Not in the USSR or China of course where there is only one way.
Socal still thinks everything in the west is run by some shadowy cabal, and I'm sure the power players, (Rothschilds etc old money political families) exert much influence but it's not some behind the scenes bureaucrats as our latest recruit to the hall of fame tin foil hatters would believe..

You do not understand State Controlled Media you fucking moron.

Here's another simple Backspin-style explanation.

BBC: "Government bad".
Government: "Grumble Grumble"

RT: "Government bad"
Government (i.e. Putin): "Drink this".

And I don't know where he gets this shit about it being "publicly traded".

It's Putin-owned, Putin-funded, and Putin-controlled.

No you donkeys balls. I am no longer an anti govt dogmatist. There should be state media like the BBC. Conservatives shouldnt defund BBC. They should take it over.

BTW Russia has its BBC internally. But there's also corporate and private TV. The Economist (an Anglo American empire rag) has a Russian language TV channel in Russia.

China on the other hand , has purely state media.

But none of you sick cvnts give Russia any more credit for being much more like us than China is

RT isn't even an internal Ruesian TV channel. It is to promote Russia's viewpoint abroad. Its the most popular TV network on the Internet. It just collaborates with dissident and counter narrative groups within the west. It is not controlled by Putin. It is controlled by like minded people with a mission

Where do you get this shit?

RT?

We have "taxpayer/government owned massmedia, and they are the most trusted media here.

If you prefer corporate massmedia, then up to you.

Just don't go out of your way to quote them, for my sake.

Corporate media are in the business for a reason, and it ain't just the money.


Your logic doesn't do it for me

Actually, it does not much promote the "Russia's viewpoint abroad". It's very unbiased when e.g. listening to their program "Going Underground" where personalities from different world (many of UK's MPs) get a chance to speak and answer questions without being shown an agreement or a disagreement.

Do we have a chance to listen to views of e.g John Pilger, Roger Waters (Pink Floyd co-founder), Oliver Stone, Werner Herzog (German film director), old lady Dr. Jane Goodall, to name just few?

Yeah. The regional RT stations like RT America or RT UK , promote mostly internal alternative voices and viewpoints. But the mothership , RT International , promotes Russia's viewpoint

You really are a dopey c u n t, and it's quite obvious you've never watched it.

RT Africa is currently slagging off America for censorship.

RT UK is slagging off America for opiates.

RT America is talking about..... go on, have a guess.

You are a simpleton who makes shit up.

Now RT UK is listening to some weird old Slovenian fucker banging on about class divides in Europe.

Fucking hell he's ranting on about how Australia and New Zealand are going to create bubbles like they had in Logan's Run.




They should change it from RT to ST.

"Shitstirring Today" would be a much more appropriate name.

You stupid fucker. Obviously they slag on all and sundry. But they give a Max Keiser in the UK or Peter Schiff in the US a voice when discussing these issues.

All the RT shows ALL of them , are available as an audio podcast and I'm subscribed. You fucking silly duffer.

Probably Slavoj Žižek. Youve never heard of him ? Glad RT is expanding your horizons

RT is hilarious. They gave employees a chocolate Salisbury church for a Christmas gift lol

No, it's showing me that RT will give voice to every lunatic out there if they're having a pop at the West, you fucking moron.

THAT is what it's there for.
