https://www.rt.com/usa/357422-clinton-foundation-donors-scandal/The State Department won't release clinton's visitor-logs befor December 30th. Why? RT doesn't tell.
Calling the estimated date of release "unacceptable," Donald Trump's spokesman Jason Miller said in a statement that "voters deserve to know the truth before they cast their ballots."
That is the same Donald Trump who refuses to release any information about his finances.
The social media reacted with a #PayToPlay hashtag
Who coined that hashtag and who is using it???
it even got the attention of the American mainstream media, who usually turn a blind eye on "anything that Hillary Clinton has done in relation to the Clinton foundation," US media analyst Lionel told RT.
"They have shown no interest in anything until now... It seems the American mainstream media have been acting almost as agents, apparatchiks, campaign contributors, associates of the Clinton campaign," he said, adding: "Every single bit, every news story, every accusation, anything that might be the slightest bit embarrassing, untoward, inconvenient, problematic for the Clinton campaign is being ignored altogether."
Yeeeeeeah. The media ignoring a possible Clinton-scandal. Suuuuure.

Meanwhile there are the examples you mentioned, plus many more from RT, of blatant propaganda.
But "RT can do no wrong, donchu know?"

(35,320 posts)I mean, seriously, the CPUSA was prominent among many on the left. It took marching orders. Stalin was a good guy until the Party line was that he was a bad guy. The '70s were really hard on those folk, but many persevered.
There was a resurgence in "Kremlin good" thinking (as opposed to "US bad" thinking) in the late '80s, with perestroika. But the system was still nasty and evil (as both Reagan and Gorbachev agreed).
Often the thinking wasn't "Kremlin good", but "US bad." That's much of the case now. The Kremlin is only good to the extent that it challenges the US, and is only justified to the extent necessary to allow US-bashing. For most people.
There are a few around here that just think that the Kremlin is good, but often that's because they're rooted deeply in "Ukraine bad" thinking. And if the Ukr is bad, anything opposing it must be good.
