I resigned from RT today. I have huge respect for many in the team, but I'm for the truth.


Corespondent Sara Firth's announcement came nearly two hours after she stated on Twitter that RT anchors "do work for Putin" and spread "lies," in a conversation with RT London correspondent Polly Boiko. Firth alleged that the network asks its anchors to "obscure the truth," and now she is saying she's had enough.

1. RT should never be accepted as a valid source of information.

NEVER.

[MineralMan]

3. That is especially true when it reports on anything the Russian government

is involved with, as in Ukraine. RT is a propaganda arm of the Russian government.

15. I forget

Why was it Dan Rather resigned from CBS?

Of course RT is a propaganda arm of Russia. Duh!

Poor old Dan.

11. The racket from them rubbing their little legs together is deafening

6. Well, that can't be! I read on DU that RT is more credible than....

any other outlet especially when reporting on issues involving Putin and Russia, that millions of Americans love RT, yada, yada, yada.

Kudos to Ms. Firth for outing that lying propaganda POS. I doubt her revelation will affect the few DUers who still support it, quote it, trust it but one can hope I suppose.

[TBF]

7. I've seen some weird stuff from RT Today -

and consider it about as credible as FAUX news or USA Today.

I tend to look to the Guardian and Al Jazeera for better news reports in terms of mainstream reports. It's crazy these days.

8. I'm with you.

I don't trust the corporate media in this country that much either. Especially embedded reporters in war zones.
