Temper, Temper.Whose sources was I complaining about ?
And what's the problem with the piece, other than your Russophobia . You don't automatically dismiss BBC and Guardian sources ,so your Lols are just the routine , sniffy Anglo Saxon hypocrisy. Waste of breath.
This quite frankly is bullshit. You have repeatedly rubbished sources that I've posted on the Syria thread without posting sources of your own to refute whatever it is you have an issue with. If I post up stuff that you feel uncomfortable with i.e. there is no easy explanation to hand in your head you ignore the posts in question.If I criticise a source I do so by pointing to another that contradicts it. Unlike others I don't immediately dismiss it on the basis of nationality and fuck all else.
Wow. And her response to criticism of her adornment:Donald Trump's spokesman wore a necklace of real bullets on tv

Shame nobody seems to be searching for 'is Donald Trump an alien'
I really want to know. I just searched 13 times. Many can play.
Russia's equivalent to the BBC then?No on the basis it's quite clearly run by the Kremlin and disseminates state propaganda.
Russia's equivalent to the BBC then?
I'm not sure I agree. The BBC barely ever employs the kind of journalist who'd get into trouble if the UK were like Russia. ITV has a better record of doing that - giving airtime to people like John Pilger.The quantitative difference is enough to count as qualitative, silly.
For one thing, there's a rather lower death-toll among UK journalists who defy the Party line.
Russia's equivalent to the BBC then?
No. Especially post-Hutton.Are you taking the piss?
No. Especially post-Hutton.
Works in a different way, perhaps, but it is most certainly there. And Hutton and its ramifications are one case in point.If you think you can compare the level of state control of the BBC to Kremlin control of RT you are frankly delusional.

One of the main ways in which this operates is the terms and limits set for debates. Both will have points of view not discussed.
For instance, the points of view of various economists with non-mainstream takes on the credit crunch - the likes of Steve Keen - don't get any airtime on the BBc. It is as if their pov didn't exist. Keen and others get to argue their cases on RT. On the bbc, people like Keen, who predicted the credit crunch, are sidelined, while jokers who didn't see it coming at all are taken seriously. More subtle form of propaganda, perhaps, but there.
A number of those American and British twentysomething recruits have discovered that unpleasant reality in the course of their reporting. Abby Martin, the host of RT America, protested on air at the support that RT gave to Russia’s invasion of Crimea. Reporter Liz Wahl resigned shortly afterwards for the same reason. Staci Bivens, another RT reporter, said that she had been ordered by editors to write a story arguing the absurd case that Germany was a ‘failed state’. (She refused, which led to her leaving the network.) Overall, past and present employees of RT described a workplace in which reporters and commentators might write original stories only to find them rewritten by senior Russian editors — not to clarify or correct them, but to suit obvious Kremlin interests.
I've reported this homophobic abuse from CR again. Could someone else report it on my behalf.
If you can explain why he keeps calling me a 81 year tv presenter I'm all ears. He has declined to do.
