Russia Today V the BBC News!

Does anyone watch the freeview news channel Russia Today?

RT

It's worth watching as it gives a totally opposite view to the BBC or British Brainwashing Corporation; perception of news events!

Re: Russia Today V the BBC News!

Funny you should mention Brainwashing. it is well known in Journalism circles that Russia Today, a state owned and run news channel, which allows the Kremlin to put their slant on the news, is rather Biased towards the Russian Federation and their views on the world.
It has been described as being impartial as Pravda is.

Even Al Jazeera has likened it to propaganda.
News channel or propaganda tool? - Listening Post - Al Jazeera English

I am all for impartial news, unfortunately this is as impartial as Socialist Worker

Is that similar to Anastasia having been seen serving fries at Moscow's McDees?

Comparing the BBC to anything Russian is a bit OTT Alan, they still have the election results from next years election locked in the safe in the Kremlin

Showing your ignorance again if you'd bother to watch it - it covers much inter-national news from an angle that BBC doesn't and gives voice to some conspiracy type views. It's called Russia Today but it covers many countries not just Russian news - I don't know who finances it though?

Now you are showing your ignorance, RT is financed by the Federal Agency on Press and Mass Communications of the Russian Federation. It is a state run organisation, reporting the States view on world events, as such it is not impartial.
But if you had bothered to read and understand what I had already written you would have a understanding, unless of course you have already been Brainwashed by the Russian Federation

I never claimed to know who was running RT, but thanks for enlightening me! The point is; the BBC are always promoting the royal family but I have not seen one news item that is promoting Russia or it's rulers on RT - there is very little actually about Russia or Putin etc on it and a lot of it is about the middle east and the US lead wars etc - not indoctrination. In fact the main news feature today was about the Council elections in the UK and the UKIP!

Russia Today is State Owned and reports the news the state wants it to, it is not impartial.just because it does not talk about the Russian Federation Government is not important.

You want to be indoctrinated by the Russian Federation and the stuff they tell you watch Russia Today.
If you really want impartial news, not Brainwashing, I suggest you look elsewhere as Russia Today is a Propaganda only organisation
