  • “It's a shame people no longer trust the mainstream media and, while searching for truth, get hooked on fake news following Russian narrative.”

    I have a ‘mate’ who is exactly like this. His current news feed is RT News and no arguing with him will change his mind. I have tried to point out there must be truth somewhere in the middle ground. It hurts my head trying to change his mind.
    When RT News was taken off UK TV, he responded with ‘that’s because they tell the truth and the UK government don’t want anyone hearing the truth’.
    My head still hurts.

  • RT did once act as a platform for some relevant/credible voices, you could tell immediately because at the start of the show there’d be a disclaimer saying ‘this programme does not represent rt, opinions held are that of program makers alone’ etc. In 2008/9 i was very keen on the kaiser report. then it just went bitcoin crazy.

  • I get that but my ‘mate’ used the content to justify his mad statements. ‘It must be true as it’s on the news’ - RT News? Questionable at best and that’s being generous in relation to Ukraine.
