(6,002 posts)therefore, you are simply trolling. I don't understand why this is being tolerated, but have at it.

(31,254 posts)RT is a brand of "TV-Novosti", an "autonomous non-profit organization", founded by the Russian news agency RIA Novosti on April 6, 2005.[1][5] During the economic crisis in December 2008, the Russian Government included ANO "TV-Novosti" in the list of core organisations of strategic importance of Russia.[6][7][8]
RT has been called a propaganda outlet for the Russian government[9][10][11][12] and its foreign policy,[9][10][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] by former Russian officials,[20][21][22] and by news reporters,[23] including former RT reporters.[24][25][26] It has also been accused of spreading disinformation.[20][27][28][29][30] The United Kingdom media regulator Ofcom has threatened RT with sanctions because of repeated violations of its rules on impartiality.[31] The network states that RT offers a Russian perspective on global events.[32]

(31,254 posts)"Moscow is financing legions of pro-Russia Internet commenters. But how much do they matter?"
"Russia's campaign to shape international opinion around its invasion of Ukraine has extended to recruiting and training a new cadre of online trolls that have been deployed to spread the Kremlin's message on the comments section of top American websites.
This may be another reason for the cynicism directed at RT and its devotees?

(6,002 posts)Thom Hartmann continue to air their views there. But, hey, have another glass of Kool-Aid, if that's what gets you through your trolling agenda here.
Tarheel_Dem
(31,254 posts)I would answer that, but I'd probably get banned. Ever hear the saying..."any port in a storm"?
mother earth
(6,002 posts)I truly wish it were otherwise. But the OP's I see posted here have valid worth. You don't win favor by acting like little hitlers carrying pitchforks.
I'd be far more inclined to be won over by a valid argument, guess you don't have one, specifically to the actual OP.

(6,002 posts)subjected to constant and unrelenting harassment?
I don't want any trolling answers or further harassment for this honest question.
This is beyond sickening and I want to know why it is tolerated.
Please let DU'ers know if we are going against any kind of rule on discussion here by posting RT videos.
Duckhunter935
(16,974 posts)Rarely but they are off the chart propaganda and actually do not come close to the truth on most Ukrainian stories. So bad in fact it is not a reputable sourse for LBN. People are just calling out the crap they post and have many stories discredited in the past like all of the MH17 stories.
mother earth
(6,002 posts)that there is just a faction here who believe they are not reliable?
If there is no rule against RT, there should not be a trolling effect. The fact that these OP's are generally latched onto by the same posters speaks volumes.
I think, if you believe something is unreliable, it is incumbent upon you to produce the proof that is such.
Otherwise, you should shut up or put up.
There is such a thing as freedom of speech, but here it seems intolerable to allow for differing opinions.
I am left wondering why that is so.
Produce the real proof that each RT video you so deem as propaganda, is so. Otherwise, the propaganda is in the trolling of these OP's.
If rules are being broken, show us the rule, if not, then you are trolling because of a belief you hold, which may not be based on fact.
Show me the proof. Too many are tired of these antics, and so far, that is all they are, little doggies laughing? Seriously, dudes, you need to get a grip and have an argument, or we'll have to drag out the little kitties laughing back.
Duckhunter935
(16,974 posts)there is no such rule as far as I know for this group. There is also no such rule for what you state "if you believe something is unreliable, it is incumbent upon you to produce the proof that is such."
I agree, why do you want to prevent our speech?
We can post as long as it meets the SOP's and DU standards, correct?
mother earth
(6,002 posts)that differs from an OP, than that is EXACTLY what you are doing, trolling. Look it up the definition. It's a no brainer.
If you have an opposing and factual argument, back it up and and offer it, or just avoid these OP's you feel are offensive for whatever your reasoning is. It's just a point of fact, nothing new under the sun. If the argument is misguided, show us where it is so.
Otherwise, you look like a group of drive by trolls, sorry if you find that offensive. But it is what it is, and what is actually being observed in your total lack of a viable argument.
I don't want to prevent your freedom of speech, but I'm not into innuendo and bullying for the sake of lack of actual fact based argument. Get me?

(27,137 posts)...yours is the only ones I see.
That's the answer. Ignoring ignorance and inappropriate behavior is one of the first lessons I learned as a parent in child-rearing and it worked equally as well many years before that, when I was as a counselor for troubled youths in the correction system.
I don't reward people who have a singularly limited perspective by feeding into their delusions of grandeur and supposed superior perspectives. I used to do that a long time ago but I finally realized its a waste of time trying to communicate with some people. The programming is hardwired-in and will require a complete wipe before they can be retrained in the art of humanity.
When I developed PN, I knew I had to ''Ignore'' these people or leave. My nervous system can no longer take the stupidity and narrow mindedness because it physically pains me to do so. Such ignorance and limited vision. Gah! It's like trying to explain something to a toddler who keeps asking ''Why?'' Because nothing's getting through.
The funny thing is, I couldn't care less about Putin anymore than Obama and his antics. What I do care about is the fact that Russia is a huge block in the road for the assholes running this planet into the ground. And so I applaud the fact that Putin is giving us the time we need for people to wake the fuck up. If we don't, then fuck it is how I feel about it. Like the dinosaurs, we will have had our shot and it didn't stick.
- At least we had a choice.........

(6,002 posts)this joke that RT has no validity? Reality check...you offer no valid arguments, you have no validity or credibility. RT is not all propaganda, our MSM does offer propaganda, are they less valid to you? I'm thinking no, so you really do need a reality check.
