I have to pick and choose what I deem worthy while sifting through it all. If one normally thinks critically, questions the answers and doesn't follow authority then it's a good start at least. If MSNBC had Cenk and Hartmann things would be different. Believe me I know there are things that are true about Russia that Putin would never allow reported but our media covers. But the same is true that suppressed stories about us that CNN would never cover RT could.
