So basically every time there's been a regime change it's all the CIA's doing, nothing to do with what locals want? The last two are absolutely not so.

RT is nothing but a pathetic propaganda outlet for the Kremlin to influence weak minded westerners.
over simplification.

some of the shows are bad. i think most of the shows are negative which shows a kind of bias. of course RT wants to shake US domestic confidence and probably create unrest. but some of the shows are great. youre not going to get 1 hour noam chomsky or ralph nader interview on any of the biggest american networks. instead you constantly get a bunch of mediocres on there.

Oversimplification?
You gotta be kidding me.

You mean like saying that capitalism is bad?
Or that the US performed a coup in Bolivia?
Or that private insurance is wrong?
That having billionaires is wrong?

You spend your entire time here oversimplifying issues.

sometimes i do, but maybe somethings can be simplified like power corrupts, or slavery is bad. julian assange says the truth is concealed by complexity and secrecy.

ive quoted journalists opinions on RT and state news on here. i think RT is defintely better than domestic corporate networks but the thing is the russian govt (like all govts) have an nefarious agenda. the preferred mode of journalism may be by donation with no advertisements or maybe by govt funding.

You mean like saying that capitalism is bad? yes unless theres only one person in the business.
Or that the US performed a coup in Bolivia? bad

Or that private insurance is wrong? likely bad. US is only lightly regulated private insurance healthcare in the world and you have highest prices and mediocre outcomes.

That having billionaires is wrong? bad because too much power. we dont want dictators for partly for the same reason.

id guess @Box Ox has rarely if ever watched RT. get some perspective before you jump to conclusions. stop being so sure of yourselves.

and what shows did you watch? and why did you think it was worse than FOX or MSNBC?

RT is a Russian state mouthpiece in all of its programming.

Fox and MSNBC are politically biased and push domestic conflict here in the US. But they’re not in operation to push the agenda of an authoritarian regime onto foreign countries like RT is.

im not sure thats RT's agenda but i think its to cause domestic protests and weaken the rich and elites in america. many guys i listen to say FOX news and MSNBC are similar to state media and i agree, they are mouthpieces for republicans or democrats in power. but MSNBC (like the other corporate networks) which i guess represents the american left of centre has to stay within a certain range of debate which it cant deviate from. the greatest journalists and minds frequently dont get on these networks, and many ideas are not discussed. i watched alot of msnbc many years ago when i did camp work and had no access to the internet, and RT did way better news back then hands down. but like i said not every program on RT should be trusted. i liked thom hartmann, america's lawyer, jesse ventura, chris hedges, abby martin, lee camp. i dont necessarily trust max keiser, but he was right on bitcoin and i think hes right about other things.

I don't feel like I need to go out of my way to prove that RT is Russian state TV. It's blatantly obvious.
i agreed with you and thats not necessarily a bad thing. what shows did you watch and how much? if you didnt watch enough of it, how can you say its better or worse than the MSM?

See above
thats what i thought.

so why do you jump to conclusions about things without getting some perspective first? maybe its time to grow up and stop being hysterical about socialism, terrorists, other countries, immigrants, and these things which have nothing to do with your life. im not friends with hysterical people because its not cool.
