This news follows DirecTV’s announcement that it will drop RT America in light of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
"we anticipate this layoff will be permanent, meaning that this will result in the permanent separation from employment of most T&R employees at all locations"

Two months and a resume which may be problematic in the industry afterwards.

Aww.
Can we get rid of CGTN while we’re at it? Nothing is more insulting to the USA than that red flag flying on there.

Until recently, I wasn’t even aware that there was a RT America network. Was it only available on satellite TV or could regular cable customers get it?

Guess, I’ll just have to crank out the old shortwave and listen to Radio Moscow again.

Russia Today was far more trustworthy and honest than NPR, New York Times, Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, LA Times, etc.

Leftists always opt for censorship because their ideas are so bad they cannot use logic or reason to argue for them.
MarxistMaximus, you are happy to silence voices you do not like and I am certain you feel the same way towards fellow Freepers.

That is the problem with cancel culture.
You never know where the land mines are until you step on one.

I don’t watch regular TV but I read RT.com.
It seems they are gone also.
RT was far more ethical than CNN or MSDNC.
At least you knew RT was biased, up front.
They did have some good science reporting
which is all I ever read.
