( listen and make up your own mind…I for one was not impressed and will keep using alternative media sources …as well as occasionally listening to RNZ , but with critical thinking intact )
btw Russell Brown took issue with the alternative media claims that Hillary Clinton laughed about getting a child rapist off the hook…his assertion was based on court documents ( where of course it would not show her laughing)…however… perhaps if Russell Brown cared to search alternative media he would find video footage of a lengthy interview with a younger Clinton which substantiates the claim
…alternative media is multi dimensional, eclectic and requires open investigative minds to sift fact from fiction…it is not establishment propaganda, precious, self important and egotistical defense of one’s patch…
