Just a few short years ago NBC was calling Ed the "Rush Limbaugh" of the left...

It seems appropriate somehow.

Now they’re calling Ed Schultz Russia’s version of Lord Haw Haw.

Someone should tell little Eddie that the log he is riding around the whirlpool is a turn and the walls of his canyon are porcelain not limestone and marble.

A perfect match. Perhaps he will emigrate to Russia.

Big Ed should double their viewership to 10K. Al Jazeera is envious and should sue Al Gore.

I wonder if all the posters fawning over Putin and modern autocratic Russia are going to show up on this post, and if so, how they’ll handle their own cognitive dissonance.

I've spent a couple spare hours on RT: it's not that bad. No worse than MSNBC or AJ. It's not exactly Pravda TV.

I have long believed that the sale of Current to Al Jazeera was merely the islamonazi’s way of giving Algore his own version of Hitlery’s cattle futures bribe.

There’s a program usually worse than RT (though I’ve seen some pretty awful slanted shows on RT, too). Called “ democracy now!” — looks totally consistent to me with the old communist party line And — its on pbs public broadcasting station ( so I’m guessing we must be paying for it in whole or part). It would be interesting to learn just who does pay for all the super- slanted anti- American propaganda that’s been showing up in our mass media these last few years especially. (Soros again, or ???). Just curious

Actually, Russia Today and Russian media outlets are more Alex Jones than MSNBC.

Interesting you’d say that. I thought of Alex jones a couple of times while watching some RT shows.

Somehow there already was a thread on this, different source:
http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3383711/posts

I don’t endorse or even really read RT, Huffington Post, Al Jazeera or the Guardian but that doesn’t mean they don’t come out with decent articles from time to time.

And then, I also read multiple sources to try to know what’s going on, I certainly don’t consider the above the first place to get the news.

Yes, democracy now seems to be Berkley radical type news, Antiwar.org isn’t too cool either. Heck, I just stumbled on libcom last night, that is Communistic. WSWS is the world socialist website, they are not irreverent or disgraceful like salon but of course, I don’t care for them.
