Without sounding racist (although I guess I will) many of the presenters on RT come across like Russian spies, bad Russian spies at that. It’s like an episode of The Twilight Zone where the UK and US have been taken over by Russians from the 1990s. Even of you ignore their wannabe-alternative spiel, there’s also the weird “look” of everybody on RT.

This kind of obvious “alternative” fakery isn’t the only thing wrong with the channel. But, since RT are not really liberals themselves, they drag in all the usual suspects, contrived people who we know are counterfeit leftists. It’s almost like Russia Today is fishing for an audience and since they’re aware that the mainstream left and right are already being catered for elsewhere, they try ever-so hard to entice the “alternative” left. They also have a show called “Sputnik Orbiting The World” with none other than George “Forget About My Antics On Big Brother” Galloway. Take one of its shows “The Keiser Report” for instance, at one point they brought out fellow fake-left mouthpiece Russell Brand, because you know, he’s an authentic liberal (nudge, nudge, wink, wink)… If you persist in watching the channel for more than a few minutes, you’ll see that it is yet another fake-liberal enticing construct. Now I’m not going to delve into the nitty gritty of Russia Today and the specific stories they choose to tell their viewers, all it takes is a brief glance at some of their broadcasts to notice their obvious liberal pandering. The more and more I watched this channel however, I couldn’t help but notice that it had an agenda too, in fact the more I tuned in, the more I realised that Russia Today is no more alternative than ITV is an alternative to BBC or CNN is an alternative to Fox News. And that brings me to the subject of Russia Today. When this news channel first appeared in the West, it seemed like a refreshing, liberal news outlet, and if you were switching channels from Sky News or BBC News over to RT, you heard the headlines slightly differently without a pro-West, pro-UK, pro-US, pro-war slant. It’s always good to have an alternative view of things, especially the news, but in today’s world most news channels and news sites that claim they’re “alternative” are just presenting you with bias and lies under a different guise. This construct however is the antithesis of what news is supposed to be. Safe to say that every single news outlet does this, no organisation is immune to bias and spin. A news company can take a story and tack on an issue for specific demographics to be inspired or riled by, giving otherwise unconnected or even meaningless stories a left or right-leaning spin. It’s plain to see that if a news organisation selects a certain presenter, a certain writer and editor, if they pick and choose certain news stories and favour particular issues over others, they can then present the “news” as a form of political reinforcement for its salivating fanbase. If you look at news as an industry, a form of political cajoling and pandering in order to gain an audience, you’ll see that it has more in common with entertainment than factual reporting. Knowing this, the news channels provide the news with a built-in bias in order to cater to their viewers. Many people today tune in to the news just so they can hear what they’re already thinking to get fired up about an issue they feel strongly about, basically for some reassurance that their viewpoint is correct.
