Listening Post - Feature: News channel or propaganda tool?

Listening Post looks at a news channel that seems more interested in reviving the Cold War than reporting what is really happening in Russia, today.

It's about time that RT gets called out on their blatant propaganda and sloppy reporting...

They are a joke.

It's very ironic how so-called American patriots (RP supporters, conspiracy theorists, etc..) are the target audience for RT's anti-American propaganda.

These same people think the John Birch Society is a good thing but don't mind the Kremlin making up their minds for them.

Pathetic.

@meProudToBeCaucasian Hmm, i wonder where you heard that. Let me gues... RT? :D. Seriously dude, do you have any sources on that?

[meProudToBeCaucasian]

aljazeera is also made by america and cia, they often refuse to talk about the monarchy about all the oil countries including saudi arabia.

RT gets bigger and bigger seems like alzaeera fears they are losing its niche, rt getd even assagne now on a show. and gosh what a dumb name can you not name your news channel arabia today or something, i spell alzajerra all the time wrong like the rest of the world.

So what??? Isnt there enough bashing about russia in any english speaking press,

That russia needs an own english speaking channel shows how bad the image is already made up in the west by the west. RT shows pretty much anything whats wrong in the west what the mainstream media doesnt want to show. Also aljazeera isnt better they are broadcasting in Qatar which is an obsolete monarchy, look what they showed about their own country its a joke. but they get away with it cuz its a little country

RT is a JOKE.

@911sausageman Agree 100%

@911sausageman Oh the beautiful clarity this comment illustrates when the top comment below you is made by a user called IlluminatiLand and claims that RT is the best.

@PIANOTUBING Sounds to me like Luke did them a favor...claiming that someone wanted "OLDER people" to "burn in hell", sounds a LOT more damning, than just some young bucks. And, either way, it doesn't even matter. No "Editor" of any outlet or network should be tweeting things like that. Then, of course, there's the whole GIANT hypocrisy issue; considering that Kremlin-err-RussiaToday wanted the world to feel SO bad for this "OLDER" person in Seattle: /watch?v=zRvcEQ0_iEQ

I know how all of this can be a tad bit confusing, to the loyal UK Useful Idiots, tho...but, that's exactly the Kremlin's point. They know their 'Western' MARKS are easily manipulated, have low memory retention spans, and blissfully ignore (...or, just don't care to be bothered with...) what is actually going on in Russia, behind the lime green curtain, facade, of "RT". They even go so far as to TELL their viewers to "Question More"...but, they simply never do?? Oh well!?
