^You, people :D I'm jealous, you can get RT relatively easily, while it's usually not included in cable TV packages by local dealers over here. Though you can still got it over an Internet... in English. RT is doing is damn good job shepherding the specific type of annoying people I usually refer to as "professional patriots", even SPLC got the same feeling: http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/intelligence-report/browse-all-issues/2010/fall/from-russia-with-love

Now you probably got an idea how Fox News, CNN or for that matter almost any American, British or whatever MSM is viewed from here, their bias accusing RT of being "yellowish" or rating it low is understandable, though I barely see the difference. This guy, too:  http://www.forbes.com/sites/markadomanis/2011/06/28/rt-and-the-american-media/

Propaganda is propaganda. If you want avoid propaganda you may just as well go live in a cave. Though I'm in a better position than most people since I know a couple more languages than most people do. Gives me a perspective.

At some point I was reading LaRouche occasionally, though stopped when I got a clear idea about him: socialist, obessed with conspiracy about "British Empire" and Inter-Alpha financial clans... nothing specifically new for me, but might be helpful for someone else. Yet nothing makes him more devalued in my eays than some random neocon a-la American Thinker, just yet another crazy f**k from another side of a spectrum.

 

 

As for the LIBOR scandal, nothing really to add. It was barely noticed by media over here as well, outside of a few financially-oriented outlets. Wonder why? Could be a big deal though, bigger than Lehman Brothers.
