Ya, isn't RT listed as one of the leading providers of propaganda in the NDI report?

Uh, you are aware this is reporting from RT, yes ? WaPo may have egg on their face, but RT is an omelette by comparison.

I know it's the Moscow Times, but still, the content is valid. And it's the only place I've seen, outside the blogosphere that is, where a prominent piece points out just how ridiculous it is for the DNI report on hacking to focus so much on RT.

And not only that, but to paint RT's coverage of inequality, excessive surveillance and police brutality in the US as a sign of it being a tool of the Kremlin... that's just hilarious. The line about "alleged Wall Street greed" (RT, 31 October) on the other hand was too much even for me.

These two cut through the shit rather well, I'd say:

I wasn't a fan of their RTS games since I was a C&C and Dune fan. I did like Overwatch during its free week, but I don't game much these days.

Of course you'd bury the questionable source in paragraphs and paragraphs of Grade A BS in the form of Russian propaganda.

I expected nothing less. I honestly didn't even read it. I just looked for the source, and figured it was RT.

You alt-right guys are so predictable now. lol

You weren't joking.

"Because of the value that comes from the ambiguity of what the US may do to an adversary if the acts we seek to deter are carried out, it hurts to portray ourselves as fully too rational and cool-headed. The fact that some elements may appear to be "out of control" can be beneficial to creating and reinforcing fears and doubts in the minds of an adversary's decision makers. This essential sense of fear is the working force of deterrence. That the US may become irrational and vindictive if its vital interests are attacked should be part of the national persona we project to all adversaries."

That's the international political equivalent of acting crazy when someone tries to mug you. Give 'em the old crazy eyes.

Also, partly thanks to separate feeds for the two of them and being allowed time to fully answer, Chomsky was fantastic at dealing with Cathy Fucking Newman. The poster child for modern condescending journalism, with her "Ah, no one is surprised you're critical of the US...." --having listened to supporting facts for several minutes, she comes back with tongue-in-cheek-but-not-really insinuations about bias. Subtly and with plausible deniability, attacking the person not the argument.

It's good that this kind of discussion appears on TV at all, especially on a major British channel, but they get away with the same kind of shit that people lambaste RT for.

Sorry no CNN MSNBC CBS stories, They carry the Clinton water.

Anyone else having trouble getting past how unappealing he is? Never mind that its RT that has its own credibility issues, he speaks as if he's already a bonified voice of truth. Sorry bud, Cenk you are not.

This comes from using "russia" and "Putins regime" interchangeably. Nothing wrong with your average Russian. RT is an arm of an empire run by Putin, so yes, just like Murdoch, basically, only with nukes.

This Russia criticism - I don't understand. Is a pickpocket any less guilty because a Russian spotted them stealing from you?

And in my experience, RT is more reliable than the average western sources. It has its own bias, but by Christ if you think Rupert Murdoch is any better than the Kremlin when it comes to self-serving two-facery.. well, I have a magic golden egg laying hen to sell you.

RT is literally called Russia Today a wholly sponsored media channel of the Kremlin, it's like the Fox News of Putin.

Julian Assange is waging a personal war against the Obama/Clinton administration, some Australian hiding in the Ecuadorian embassy because he won't face rape allegations in Sweden shouldn't be the one to dictate how the American people should vote.

He is implying that Clinton blaming the email leak on Russians means that she will be terrible at foreign policy not mentioning that 3 separate cyber security firms found traces indicating the hack was carried out by Russians. It's so sensitive now. They release proof Russia is dabbling with US elections how will the American people react?

Selectively releasing damaging information against one candidate against another is not just some idealistic truth to power its manipulation of elections. I wouldn't mind if BOTH the DNC and RNC emails get released but this is a very one-sided attack. But think what that scenario even implies. Should all federal government briefings be open to the public because WikiLeaks says so?

Where are the WikiLeaks on Russia's war in Ukraine? Or the assassination of Boris Nemtsov?

I think its important to point out the source for all this. RT news is worse than Fox... and that is REALLY not easy.

There really isn't much i wouldn't believe about Clinton, but having said that this is a pretty long walk to credibility.

Well just go on and leak then. Why this RT/Assange trash talk?
