did she mysteriously die from polonium poisoning?
You pussied out, you pussied out
The English language broadcasts of RT have diffused out into the world and are largely a mixed bag. They are a state based news agency, but there is a level of autonomy in the newsroom.
This autonomy is much less apparent in the Russian language broadcasts. There's room for criticism of the regime, but everyone knows the line, much like in China. RT hasn't been a propaganda network strictly, but has had its agenda set by the Kremlin on key issues. According to a Russian journalist I'm sitting right next to at this moment, RT has become considerably more propagandistic in the past 3 years, though it has its utility for getting on the spot information.

About the response I would have expected from you.
The kid who runs around screaming about Libtards and the fake news... only takes a break to post some Russian propaganda.
This thread smells of collusion.
You ducked out the back door! Gave me the old Irish goodbye lol sad
Nah, I don't fuck with that.
Ha, no, but she virtually disappeared in terms of having a career.
Last I heard she was a correspondent for Newsy, which I don't many people have heard of at all. I think she was hoping her stunt would garner her some attention, establish her reputation as an ethical journalist, and bring in job offers from more mainstream networks. Didn't happen, though.
Very interesting. Thanks for posting all that.
I remember reading an article once that talked about state censorship of the network. One employee said that it's more like self-censorship. As you said, there's a line when it comes to criticizing the regime and they know where the line is and they just kind of naturally make sure not to cross it, rather than having actual orders come down from the top on what they can and can't report on.
I'm surprised this friend of yours says that RT has become more propagandistic over the last three years, though. It has seemed to be that the opposite is the case and that it has morphed more and more into a mainstream, legitimate news agency in that time.
RT is untrustworthy Russian propaganda...
...but if tomorrow they say "TRUMP COLLUDED WITH RUSSIA", watch every liberal/Democrat in the world say "OMG THE RUSSIANS FINALLY ADMITTED IT! THERE'S OUR PROOF!"

One of the main goals in pushing RT out into the western world was to subvert and divide.
Thread shows they are successful.

Most logical people don’t.
A few ignorant fools attempt to pass it off as a legit source.
Here's how I see it. . .
Don't get all your news from one place. In fact, don't even get all your news from one country. Every media outlet, whether consciously or unconsciously, is going to work to shape the viewer's perspective on the world.
I watch a lot of Fox News, but I also understand that if only watched Fox all the time then my perspective on world events would inevitably be incomplete. It's better to survey the news from a variety of sources, both corporate and independent, national and international.
Yeah, I think the Syrian situation is a clusterfuck.
I wouldn't trust anything RT has to say about Ukraine, Crimea, etc. It will no doubt be skewed, so I just stay away from all of that. But there have been plenty of articles that I've looked at where the information in the RT article was basically the same information in articles from other sources.
Like I was just saying in my last post ITT, to gain an accurate--or at least as accurate as possible--perspective on what is going on around the world, diversity of sources is key. Don't get all your news from the same place, but be sure to use a variety of sources, including a few international outlets.
Ha, thanks.
Having taken some journalism classes and done a bit of magazine writing, I have a lot of interest in the news business. I spend a lot of time thinking about it and thinking about whether or not the media's poor reputation is deserved, as well as what steps it could take to reform that reputation.
An interesting way for RT to try to sell itself as an alternative to the MSM:
