COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN RUSSIA INSIDER
“Why I Support RT (and So Should You)
“'It’s not about whether you “agree” or “disagree” with the Russia Today broadcast; more importantly, the principle of fair play in media access and reach is crucial for the health and future of democracy' “
And without a doubt our recent history has proven the utter dishonesty and the undependable nature of major broadcasters in the West.
That would be true even if RT didn't make the effort that it does.
At least when it comes to international affairs, certainly some of the most consequential and even deadly matters in the world.
Of course, the background reality is that there is so much dark and filthy work going on by America, with its close allies being dragged along, that reporting the truth might be made to resemble treason. After all, look at the way officials in Britain and America have attacked RT.
I include very much in my condemnation of Western broadcasters, Canada’s CBC. In foreign affairs, it has become as meaningless and dishonest as BBC or ABC or NBC or CBS, etc., etc.
