124. Don't worry, I'm not the least bit embarrassed. And I always
do as I please whenever possible. Clearly you are biased and afraid of how popular these foreign news agencies have become. But you shouldn't be. The more there are, the better. Eg, if RT had been around when Bush was lying us into war, and our media was totally censored and reporters like Ashley Banfield were being fired for trying to tell the truth, they might have been able to get the truth to a few more people here.

And if Russia ever tries the same thing, I'm sure we can count on CNN to try to let the Russian people know the truth. It all works better when one country doesn't have a monopoly on the 'message'.

As I said below, Hillary doesn't share your views of RT. She is worried she said, that RT, Al Jazeera and others are 'delivering real news' and that 'they are good'. She's worried that the U.S. can't spread its propaganda around the globe anymore without challenge but she seems to get that people actually do want 'real news'. So, I'm hoping all these new news organizations will force each other to be better.

And don't worry about me at all. I remember being called a traitor for watching Al Jazeera and told I was being programmed by propaganda. It's fine, I didn't become a jihadist and I won't become a commie. I'm pretty hard to indoctrinate, which is why I never bought our MSM propaganda either ~
