a day without Russian propaganda, is like a day without shooting people of color.

And you're correct, this is not humorous in any way. It's the truth.

15. Article link from CNN Business

https://www.cnn.com/2022/03/03/media/rt-america-layoffs/index.html

New York (CNN Business)The production company behind the American version of the Russian state-funded network RT laid off most of its staff on Thursday, according to a memo obtained by CNN.

Misha Solodovnikov, the general manager of the production company, T&R Productions, told staff that it will be "ceasing production" at all of its locations "as a result of unforeseen business interruption events."

"Unfortunately, we anticipate this layoff will be permanent, meaning that this will result in the permanent separation from employment of most T&R employees at all locations," Solodovnikov wrote in his memo to employees.

The layoffs would mean an effective end to RT America. The network, one of Russian President Vladimir Putin's main mouthpieces in the US, was dropped earlier this week by DirecTV. The satellite carrier was one of the two major television providers in the US to carry the network.

Just curious….

18. Good riddance.

[BadgerMom]

19. Excellent news!

[peppertree]

20. The irony of it is, that their coverage of the invasion was actually LESS biased than Fucker Carlson

In the early days of this war, I'd sometimes check them out to see how they were covering this - and though definitely not free of misinformation and deliberate oversights, they were more neutral and even professional in their general tone than Faux News was (at first, anyway).

But then, who isn't.

21. Hehehe...

"RT is one of the best Progressive news organizations available with a broad array of viewpoints, spanning the political spectrum but with a definite 'liberal bias'."

And to think that so many (former) DUers defended RT with bullshit like the above quoted nonsense.

23. They are still streaming on US YouTube nt

[BannonsLiver]

30. Not after they lay off their staff.

RT staff are devoted Putinites but they won’t work for free.

[kimbutgar]

25. I remember being so angry when Ed Schultz when on RT

I really liked him but he went too far. I don’t think he ever recovered and it led to his early passing.

[csziggy]

26. RT America is still broadcasting on SlingTV

I only turned over to check and Laparov is spouting crap about Zelensky being a Nazi. No details, I immediately turned away.
