Stuff RT is not reporting on:

Not a single word about Spygate. None. Zero. Zilch. Nada.

Not a single word about the 1500 children that were lost track of.

Not a single word about Trump's tone-deaf self-congratulatory tweet and speeches on Memorial Day.

Not a single word about China's $500 million bribe to Trump.

Not a single word that the US military considers ZTE a threat to national security.
(And no fact-check on Trump's claims about ZTE. RT just reprinted Trump's tweets on this.)






But we got an article about how Trump shook hands with people and an article about hypothetical outrage about a hypothetical incident.
"They are obsessed with Russia! The whole world would go mad at Russia if Russia did this! Imagine the outrage and hysteria they would have!"

RT was designed from the very beginning to be Putin's English language propaganda outlet and only fools watch it. It is much like how Fox was founded to be nothing but a Republican propaganda network which only fools watch.

Seek out actual journalism and you will not only be better informed but happier too.

to know what the enemy is saying. We can't defeat it if we don't know what it is. I'm fully aware that it is Putin's mouthpiece here, and am not about to be swayed by anything on it.
