(62,325 posts)back when they were reporting on how unpopular he was and the only network that I found covering the massive protests against him. Or maybe he doesn't care, who knows?
RT is an excellent news source, as are many other foreign media. They hire excellent war correspondents from all over the world, the same format as Al Jazeera once did.
Those reporters are professionals, as were the Al Jazeera reporters. The are NOT influenced by Putin, an Irish reporter gets a job with RT and does his/her job as a war correspondent. American reporters who cannot find work in our corporate media because we don't hire actual journalists anymore, get a job working for Al Jazeera or CCTV or RT and are given the freedom, which ours were not, see Ashley Banfield, to report what they SEE.
I am certain that the British RT Reporters are simply doing their job and will not continue to work for a network that stifles their work. Same thing with South African reporters. Are they all 'Putin lovers'? Were all of Al Jazeera's foreign correspondents, Saddam lovers?
To see this narrow mindedness here on DU is just sad. Maybe you should spend a few weeks watching these reporters, who are risking their lives to do the job they trained for and appear to be free to report freely on what they are seeing.
Al Jazeera reporters were KILLED by the Bush gang. This week an RT reporter was SHOT by our 'allies' in Kiev. Why? I am even more impressed with those reporters than I was before, it takes a lot of courage now to be a war correspondent since Bush made it okay to KILL and TORTURE reporters.
But that's just me, the more someone tries to stop me from doing something, the more suspicious of their motives I become.
