‘American spies would prefer if RT didn’t report the news, thank you very much’

“For decades, the United States, together with its allies, has enjoyed almost absolute control of the media narrative in the English-speaking world, both at home and abroad. Recently, however, the success of RT, and some other outlets, in attracting an international audience, has punched a few holes in the establishment’s complete command of the news space.
Audiences have welcomed this, embracing diversity in news, because they gained access to a range of stories and opinions that often reflected the reality around them, yet were inexplicably absent in the bulletins of their local broadcasters.

The McArthy Era (round two) was brought in by Hillary Clinton and the Democrats (with accusations of swinging the Election and hacking)…Scapegoating the Russians and fear mongering was always supported by neocon Republicans who supported Hillary Clinton ….and the arms industry with its vested monetary interests…It is now supported by the mainstream media and some idiots in intelligence telling porkies
