    Fuck me, Slider. WHat the FUCK are you doing reading Russian/Putin propaganda broadsheets for?

    Yet on the other hand, you dislike Trump. But Trump was a useful
    puppet or tool for Putin. So, you disllike Trump, therefore by proxy
    dislike Putin and his crowd of oligarchic assassins, yet you read RT
    which is nothing less than a broadsheet for Russian bullshit propping
    up Putin and his band of fucking THIEVES.

    "RT (formerly Russia Today) is a state-controlled international
    television network funded by the federal tax budget of the Russian government.[5][6] It operates pay television channels directed to
    audiences outside of Russia, as well as providing Internet content in English, Spanish, French, German, Arabic, and Russian.

    RT has been described as a propaganda outlet for the Russian
    government[12] and its foreign policy.[13][14][15][16][17][18] RT has
    also been accused of spreading disinformation[18][19][20] by news reporters,[21][22] including some former RT reporters.[23][24][25] The
    UK media regulator, Ofcom, has repeatedly found RT to have breached
    its rules on impartiality and on one occasion found it had broadcast "materially misleading" content.[26][27][28][29] RT's editor-in-chief compared it with the Defence Ministry and talked about it "waging the information war against the entire Western world."[6] In September
    2017, RT America was ordered to register as a "foreign agent" with the
    United States Department of Justice under the Foreign Agents
    Registration Act. Under the act, RT is required to disclose financial information to the U.S.[30]"

    ### - i look at a wide variety & range of available news sources knowing/realising full well what their own personal agendas likely are
    and/or, traditionally or otherwise, pertain to... all of the above also applying equally to the bbc afaic haha; they're all the same and all do
    exactly the same job!

    each still has their own particular spin on things though, and if ya
    understand that + take that into consideration, plus then contrast &
    compare etc etc, it's possible to eventually even end up with a little bit wider overall view than any single one of them on their own sets out to provide, particularly if one also reads between the lines of them; the
    whole effectively thus being greater than the sum of its parts kinda
    thing... try it sometime and you'll perhaps see what i mean ;)

    perforce it's then down to moi to cherry-pick from amongst them what i personally consider to be the real + perhaps emerging news, rt often
    reporting on things well before the bbc does for example, especially if
    it's some bad or inconvenient news on the uk front that the bbc is then
    slow to report on haha (always makes me laff when i see that) just today
    being a case in point, where rt reported on a fire and small riot
    involving a sealed kent barracks where some 400 asylum seekers are being
    kept on ice... it then taking the bbc another 2 hours to start reporting
    on it with the newscaster reporting breaking news about a fire in kent
    with few details that he was quite obviously playing down, whereas on
    other channels it was already all over & done with lol :D

    fact is, Truth can come from 'any' source (even something fairly obscure/relatively unknown) providing one has the discerning eye to
    recognise it, and because in that sense Truth really is (or certainly can
    be) in the eye of the beholder heh, so i look at everything! anything! all
    with equal impunity ;)
