You are some sort of enigma.

I've been called many things in my life, but never that.[rofl][rofl]

Yeah, I guess it is good coverage if you consider an extreme anti western view as good. I made it 25 seconds into a syrian RT vid today. I had to turn it when they brought on the typical no name that RT finds (no one with any real reputation would be caught dead on RT if the could help it) and of course, am told it is western manipulation and that the riots in syria are peaceful.

Good coverage alright. Also good evidence you have a severe case of the nutter.

Er why do I have a severe case of the "nutter"? Because I like non sugar coated and biased news? Sorry lets all go and watch the sugar coated, goverment funded news channels because they give a much more balanced and truthfull view of stories relating to their own countries (idiot)

It is not extreme anti western at all it is just truthfull and says things that western FUNDED channels / sites like bbc and fox dont say..... Go and live in your sugar coated bubble and god bless america! If I have a "severe case of nutter" then you have a severe case of "low IQ sheeple, sugar coated idiosy syndrome"

I find myself browsing Al-Jazeera when I want a different report on global news.

Yeah, and your next favorite channels are Cuban Freedom National TV, Zimbabwe People's station and the Free Press of Venezuela. You can kid yourself all you want that you are getting unfiltered, unsanitized news from RT... but the joke is one you, as there are only a handful of tv stations under more government control than RT.

I know you have a chip on your shoulder. Most crazies do.

[somasideff]

Lol what a retard.... I am not a crazy with a chip on my shoulder...

Meh I am not even interested in your opinion anyway, what an idiot LOL

Eh. you might be.

You were the one who posted all that Illuminati crap in the other thread!

Hmm well I might have known it would be you that would come out with another idiotic comment.... I wish people would educate themselves before making idiotic, uneducated statements....

Im putting you back on my ignorelist tbh because everything you say is just a tedious complaint or negative statement and also your point of view is just generally poor.

"The Misconception: When your beliefs are challenged with facts, you alter your opinions and incorporate the new information into your thinking.
The Truth: When your deepest convictions are challenged by contradictory evidence, your beliefs get stronger."

Ah well. May as well give it a shot. Took me about 10 seconds to google this, I had never even heard of RT news until this thread.

The network was launched by the autonomous non-profit organization ANO TV-Novosti in 2005, but much of the funding to this organization is injected from the Russian Federal Budget (2.4 billion rubles in 2007).[8][9] This is equivalent to 82.56 million August 8, 2011 U.S. dollars. Source

So objectively, I would say that the station IS influenced by a government, and that its views on the world are most likely skewed by such an involvement.

Jeez I dont even like RT very much I was just saying out of the choice of news channels I have (BBC news, Sky News, RT) It gives the most non sugar coated reporting relating to things happening in the UK and USA such as the economy etc.... Yes they are probably biased towards russia or something but tbh it is more truthfull and informative the BBC news or SKY news when talking about the economy and the current problems... I try not to watch to much mainstream news channels in general tbh...

If you want to hear about the truth behind the economy and the wall street etc. (the main current affairs) then RT is a better source then Sky or BBC news because none of the latter 2 channels actually give anything away... Because they are the main american and UK news channels so they sugar coat the whole thing...

If it makes you feel happier or better about the world to just watch BBC news or SKY news and believe everything that is said then that is fine but dont accuse people of being crazies just because they are aware that there is more to it then what is shown on those channels!

Rofl. you are the one that mentioned RT as a good source of truthful news. You are stuck with it. [rofl]

That you chose RT and were so oblivious to the blatant propaganda bleeding from every news cast... a great judge of sincerity you are not.

The BBC is funded by pretty much a direct yearly tax levied on TV owners. One thing I will say about TV channels is that they give their watchers what they want, if RT is aimed at Russians, then they'll kick the west when they can. The only real litmus test for a press office is how harsh they are on their own government (and every political party involved), and will they be straight up when the people who ultimately own them are under scrutiny.

[MicoSiru]

Russia today are marginally better then BBC news, Fox etc... But the best place is on non biased / influenced, independant websites like that one posted IMO....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlKLv4oq-ao

Pretty much the same level as Fox News now. They didn't even censor it. All news have some type of bias.

[somasideff]

I dont even watch russia today much, I merely was watching them about the economy and how corrupt americas banking elite etc are... and also the police brutality at the wallstreet protests... For that it was usefull... otherwise the channel is admittedly biased towards russia and not great....

I watch all of the news channels now and again and take them with a pinch of salt.... I get my news from the internet mainly.... I dont know WTF u are on about with this "denial denial" thing LOL because you are the one who is in denial if you think russia today are not telling more truth about the economy then american and UK news channels are LOL...

Jeez i hate people that are narrow minded and start insulting other people and calling them names when they are presented with something other then what they accept as normal... Typical narrow minded idiocy tbh...

mm I agree with what you say there which is why I said RT are quite good for reporting on things such as the american economy and wall street etc. without sugar coating it.... Overall they are not an amzing channel and are biased the same as Sky and BBC news.... If you want proper unbiased news look on unbiased, independant websites...

Not sure if you are being flippant, but Al-Jazeera's coverage of international news is outstanding.

You know, I really think that was a case where she thought she was off camera and was flipping off the producer talking **** in her ear for stuttering seconds earlier. If she was intentionally flipping off obama to make a political statement that would ruin her career (has since been fired) it seems to me she would have done it more forcefully. Pretty half hearted imo for such a blatant statement if intentional.

I am being serious.

If I see a "World news report" on CNN.com, I sometimes look for the same story on Al-Jazeera just to see at least another point of view.
