How long can they continue to lie like this? Sooner or later, someone's going to have to put a stop to such blatant manipulations. Or we just give Murdoch the keys to the country and relearn to tug our forelocks when a nobleman rides by.

FOX News isn't f'ing up
they are doing exactly what they are meant to do
misinform

oh gosh, I don't trust Putin one bit, the Russians can be real good at their own magic tricks in the media. Bad FOX, Bad CNN, RT: we know you answer to the Kremelin, and any protests would be quashed and forgotten, but who taught you to play the game so well? Very convincing, yet still confusing.

RT complaining about FOX's misinformation? Hello pot, hello kettle.

Seeing RT posted constantly on VideoSift worries me as it is a state-run network and clearly a mouthpiece for Kremlin propaganda.

It's especially funny seeing an interviewed 'expert' on RT here talking about the western media taking cues from the government when this is clearly what RT is engaged in, damage control after the Russian elections.

The general narrative taken for this story is generally pretty hilarious as it desperately tries to make a loose link from (1) 'Fox fuck-up' to (2) 'western media is out to get Russia' to (3) 'western governments which control the media are out to topple foreign governments and were instrumental in the Ukraine/Georgia movements'.

Notice also how the presenter uses the term 'rally' not 'protest'.

RT had to watch Fox news to get this story, jokes on them.

I agree with most of what you say but I also believe that most Sifters realize what RT News really is. That being said, FOX screwed up; in this case, RT seems to be reporting the truth (although perhaps with some skew ).

Obviously you can't take anything (especially news sources) at face value, there is always some degree of interpretation involved. I don't think anyone is getting tricked by RTN.

I'd like to point out that RTN and RT are different channels.

Sorry, I was just using RTN as an abbreviation for RT News.
