National Media of Russia

And of course Russian authorities won't stop it even if it breaks laws and constitution. Cause, you know, useless police.

But nowadays its got some huge defects.
1)It gives platforms to lunatics.
Basically Neoliberals and Russian Atlanticists.
People who peddle crank politics ie feminism, BLM, homo-ism  ie all that garbage.
They also portray Russia as a place that should be America's bitch etc eg claiming losing Belarus is "inevitable" because Russia has "(a crap GDP)".

2)Also the comments section is gigantically censored. As if Hillary Clinton mods every post.
I support the pro Russia line (non abusively( and get censored out.
I even try to do things like mentioning "endocrine disruptors" in relation to homosexualism. Again censored out. Even words like "satan" and "crankshaft" mean posts are rejected. Not occasionally but all the time.

Who owns RT today? Navalny? Hillary Clinton? Seriously the place is unrecognisable. And a very sad development.

The old RT had lots of followers and fans. So why is it a Neoliberal's bitch today? If we wanted that, we could get a dozen local websites/tv stations etc. RT was popular because it was different to Western Neoliberal crap.
Does anyone know what the hell is going on?

I agree that RT, has gone a little flat. I think they tried to diversify programmes, by pooling shows together. And this helped. By bringing in American news hosts. I think solution  is  for  further diversification and pooling of programmes into RT international. By including other shows and programmes from around the world. To reach truly international audience. I would like to see music shows and TV films, now and again. From Russia, but also China and India. On a weekly Rota. For example Tuesday could be China film night. Etc. All programmes can have subtitles. This will break up the monotony. I am becoming bored with format...... Pure politics, 24/7. Rots the brain. Other TV network can hire time on RT. Use it to reach global audience.

I think the US basically seized ownership of it after it was declared a Putin propaganda asset.   Of course, they will never tell you they seized it and the retarded Russian government
plays along since the yanquis likely have threatened something else too.    But bending over backwards to a bully will only get you a kick in the nuts.    If Russia still pays money for
this enterprise, that is a crime against Russian taxpayers.

Denying western cancel culture is the litmus test for tinfoil hat kook.

RT is media outlet whose purpose is to deliver information and to appeal to widest possible segment of population and not just fringe conspiracy theory lunatics that permeate places like this forum

Part of it is maintaining civil discussion in it's comment sections

They can't allow users to insult other people on ethnic, religious, racial or any other basis because it reflects poorly on them and makes comment section become news instead of article above that comment section

And unlike several years ago they are no longer just one TV channel but a whole network of them, many of which are heavily localized



Much bigger problem with RT is that they still waste nearly half their airtime on idiotic "documentaries" that nobody cares about instead of reporting on news round the clock

That airtime would be better used on documentaries about current day Russia or daily news from Russia

This would go a long way to dispelling image that vast majority of population has about Russia
