CrossTalk: Thin line between PR & Propaganda

[annoloki]

"It is a hard sell if people think it's hypocracy", ha, Peter makes it pretty clear what he thinks about Israel, too many people completely buy Israel's "soft power", maybe "buy" isn't the right word considering who pays for it, let's say too many people sell their opinion forming abilities to Israel, which Israel use to get away with their hard power. Always good to hear people who it hasn't worked on make it clear that it hasn't worked on them.

[Advocate4Humanity]

I love how Peter always get really defensive whenever Russian whatever is mentioned in something bad, its really funny

thanks Peter

[ShadesofScorpius]

I find it telling how everyone's having a civilized chat at the beginning and when the guy from Jerusalem is called on he goes into a full scale attack on Palestinians and how they portray themselves as victims and how they manipulate the media and on and on (pot/kettle/black), as if that's possibly anywhere near the truth.I also find it amusing that they have someone spreading propaganda in a discussion ABOUT propaganda.

Guy keeps saying Israel doesnt portray themselves as victims. What a joke!

[ZenMuadDib1]

PR=propaganda, no difference.

[guydecervens]

I feel sorry for Israel. This time last year they fenced in Gaza and set about killing over 1000 Palestinian women, children, policemen and other civilians and yet nobody will see them as a victim! This is so unfair. Why is it that poor Israel cannot portray itself as a victim while acting as a murdering bully? Oh yeah, it's that darned Al Jazeerah!

[dietermaas]

Ultimately, I believe, what makes sense on both sides of the aigles and divisions, THAT is power. Resonance is power. Not only repetition. The real power is some kind of "zero point" energy, which just "rings true" with humanity. not only "the powers that be". The powers that be follow, they don't lead. And if it is new, or sounds new, yes, it is needs some repetition to come through. You see that with Ron Paul, not only his message, but the "how". and the authenticity.

[BusterXXXL]

ya man, "zero point" energy ftw Dipdididdiddy dala dipdididdy...

[OutSideDeMatrix]

Pointing out left and right means your still believing the bullsh*t spin from the matrix.

There is NO LEFT & RIGHT!

There is JUST POWER & CONTROL.

False flag crap.

Divide and conquer.

Covert operations.

I will ignore the testosterone bogus driven divide crap that is just MORE OF THE SAME.

WE ARE ALL RELATED.

THERE IS MUCH CONTROL HAPPENING ALL OVER THE WORLD.

MUCH IS SCAREY IF WE ACTUALLY KNEW THE TRUTH - CONSOLIDATION OF POWER THROUGH THIS CURRENT MADE UP FINANCIAL CRISIS.

[QAAproducts]

@OutSideDeMatrix All but sheeple know they're now reading from the same script for Iran that they used for Iraq. This time we have no excuses: We know what is coming. We know they are lying about Iranian nuclear weapon programs

The question is: HOW do those of us that live in DEMOCRATIC COUNTRIES stop another ILLEGAL WAR, being fought in our names, BEFORE 3,000,000 Iranians are murdered due to government LIES?

Any suggestions, bon ami?

Now is the time to UNITE n FIGHT!

[OutSideDeMatrix]

Doucbag in Israel - warped corporate lying media spin master - DUH!

Glad many people see past such nonsense. WE have such a long way to - sheeopple believing the bullsh*t corporate controlled media - THE MATRIX.

[Tressco]

The alternative soft power is the Internet, douche!

[truslayer123]

that jew is an asshole

[14842]

1) A can of worms? Haha,Yeah RT is a good softpower, I dont mind a little propaganda I am smart enough to see true that one, just as long you guys stay focust telling truth and fact.

[14842]

2) I do think that Russia internal and foreign affairs and so even more the people of Russia can do more to come out and share culture and be more interactive with the western world. Indeed Compared to China you guys have really low self esteem. What I want to say is if you fix that language barrier problem than you gained so much.

[666BLKdmn]

@14842 "if you fix that language barrier problem than you gained so much." I realy do not think that we have one=))

[14842]

@666BLKdmn lol, Hey :) well that was 5 months ago I see its getting better. Dimity Medvedev is really working hard on modernization, so everything will be alright. Unless those USA Jewish war babies start crying again.

[djangothecat]

The only soft power is the power of the pussy. It's sad that it has become a popular 'virtue' to call yourself a victim. If you are a victim at heart, you WILL be victimized. America is becoming wussified into a country of victims and are waiting for a conqueror to vanquish what's left of it's freedom. The inbreeding of victims with victims has bred a mongrel race of fat, stupid, lazy, welfare beggars who can't fend for themselves. I don't see any way to fix it, it's too far gone.

[holajim]

Forget the ACORN criminals and the far left. The only Americans that count are the gun owner constitutionalists. They will FIGHT for the Republic and a true Patriot is worth 20 hired thugs in both intelligence and motivation.

The government is a rogue criminal organization and they people now see through the mainstream propaganda. Goldman Sachs employees are so scaRED THEY HAVE BEEN GETTIN GUN PERMITS IN nEW yORK. tHAT'S NOT GOING TO SAVE THEM.

[abarzilai664]

When it comes to Human rights organizations every country has a problem with them whenever they turn the spotlight on them. It as true as in Israel and Russia and also in the United States.

[XBionic1955]

Israel is actually an ally for Russia and the US. Israel is the only democratic country in the mid east

[strongbadassman]

Israel is an ally for nobody, they are a rogue state to begin with, no one will any longer be fooled by their deception, even the EU is getting fed up with Israel.

[XBionic1955]

@strongbadassman

Israel brings peace and prosperity to the Mid East. We all should be grateful to Israel for their humanity actions

[strongbadassman]

you got it backwards, they are nothing more than a war machine in the mid east, with weapons given to them from the U.S. That peace and prosperity facade is gone the moment they attacked Lebanon and got fucked, and then turn their anger and humiliation to a virtually unarmed state in Gaza, they are hotheaded and shortsighted in their politics and they are hard pressed to turn back the clock now, deep down every Israelis wish they had accepted a peace deal with the Palestines, now it's too late.

[XBionic1955]

@strongbadassman

Jesus was Israeli. So for the sake of Jesus and peace in the mid east, we should help Israel and Palestine out of the senseless conflict. Let the world be united with Putin as its head

[truslayer123]

@XBionic1955 hahaaaha omg ..... omg

[strongbadassman]

apparently you forgot what the zionist bankers tried to do to russian oil feuls during Yeltsin's era, if it was for Putin, Russia would have been another colony for the Oligarchies. Apparently you are foolish enough to believe that these people can be trusted again, you must be a shylocke.

[XBionic1955]

@strongbadassman

Because of ppl like yourself such things as Auschwitz came into reality

[strongbadassman]

Stfu the Holocaust industry of victimhood no longer affects me, and no longer affects millions of people around the world, after witnessing the abuse of power that comes with it, Palestine, fucking false flag attacks not only in foreign countries but in America, their biggest donor, The Holocaust issue just don't cut anymore, and you probably are forgetting that in Russia people have no guilt about the Holocaust whatsoever.

[XBionic1955]

@strongbadassman

Then lets get united and vote for United Russia!!!

[wanderlei786]

i cant beleive how that jews asswipe can chat shit...how can he say that palestinians are good at acting like the victim, they bloody are victims of mofo jews u asshole!i know all jews aint bad but most in israel are...simple as!

[mx444bee]

RT=soft power for Russia.

[chan0chap]

why is this zionist scumbag invited to speak from telaviv?

RT has to get its shit together and distance itself from the zionist western media style of journalism

[neokika23]

Thats the thing, everyone is free to give their opinion.

And we all should listen, and then give our opinion! Good work RT. Keep up.

[Titaretho]

I find the Zionist perspective amazing. A group of people invade another country based on some mythical "chosen people crap", kills them, oppresses them, starves them, uses weapon of mass destruction against them and still have the gull to assume any moral high ground. I guess when you are chosen, genocide, barbarism, terrorism against the goyem are all part of the general ethos. GOD save us from the chosen!!!!

[XBionic1955]

Lets all get united for Mother Russia and Putin!!!

[azis1100]

lmao, classic!

[XBionic1955]

This channel must be prohibited in the US as it manipulates the US public opinion

[ChinaRedDrag0n]

let me guess !!! Your a CIA Agent

or some dumbass staff from CNN ???

I watch CNN also and I've noticed they're

stealing RTs advance news stories especially

the one about Yemen and the

Christmas bomber profile . LMFAO

[XBionic1955]

@ChinaRedDrag0n

Let me guess. You are not Chinese, right? =)

[ChinaRedDrag0n]

Chinese-American bitch !!!

[XBionic1955]

@ChinaRedDrag0n

I didnt know you were female. Well, nice to meet you anyway

[jreed136]

News agencies take from other news agencies all over the world all of the time.

I've seen stories in AssosciatedPress here on Youtube a week before I've seen them on RussiaToday.

[mengwise36]

Only AFTER we ban FOX, MSNBC, CNN and pretty much all the MSM.
