Do politicians have a responsibility to not appear on Russian propaganda tv or radio as guests.

1. I would hope they would be smarter

than that.. do you know if the republicons go on ed Schultz' propaganda show?

[boston bean]

2. Not sure. But during last year general election some politicians did.

Sort of traitorous to use russia propaganda outlets to run campaign talking points and criticizing ones opponent.

3. Yeah, it sure as hell stinks to high

hell. pawns for putin.

4. Pawns for putin😂😂😂😂😂

5. No

Russians can't vote for them . . . they can only give them money and obtain compromising materials.

6. Of course they shouldn't support Russian propaganda media.

But now I'm wondering... is this actually happening? Does this question even NEED to be asked? Or is this just an hypothetical and abstract?

Are there actually AMERICAN politicians who have agreed to be stooges and pawns and tools for Putin's "RT" ministry of propaganda?

If so, I'd have some serious questions about their judgement (and their motivation). I also question the judgement of anyone who relies on any RT outlet as a serious news or opinion source.

I mean, come on! We ALL know what RT is all about, right? This is NOT a legitimate source. It's RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA and anyone who claims that they have "complete editorial control" is lying... and they're saying it because their masters told them to say it... because they do not have "complete editorial control".

7. Only if they made the agreement not to do so.

I find nothing unethical about it at all, nor would I have had a problem with a politician engaging with Soviet media way back when it was still around.

8. That is a very reasonable request

9. I think so
