m8 besides being funded by the russian state, I'm pretty sure majority of their writers for the english side of the site are UK or US citizens. I'm sure they don't give a shit what they write about as long as it's not critical about putin/russia.

RT actually does decent coverage of some shit like what's going on in the US. They mainly get crazy propagandistic on anything to do with Russia.

I guess you prefer rampant open corruption out of the Republicans. I mean at least they do it out in the open with impunity without being held accountable, because anons biggest concern is still focusing on minority party. I don't fucking get it at all.. anons razor focus on minority opposition Dems only strengthens the psychotically corrupt super majority GOP.
