Does Russia have a free press?

[LaydeeBug]

Why is RT even touted as any sort of link?

Seriously.

And since they were the puppet masters....does the US have one anymore?


Does MSNBC take directions from Vladmir Putin?

Does CBS?

Does ABC?

CNN?

FOX?

The FBI?

Donald Trump maintains that the hacks were not done by Russians, but that the intelligence agencies were saying they were for political purposes.

He can't say no to Russia. He. **CAN'T**

1. RT was used as a source on DU during the primaries because it provided validation...

for things that some people wanted to believe.

That it was state-run media seemed to be a secondary concern.

2. Because the corporate media was either helping or beholden to a hostile

foreign government.

3. I think the concerns that Russia was involved in this election are perfectly valid, particularly...

in light of the fact that Bob Dole was paid $140k to spend six months setting up one phone call with Taiwan.

Obviously, there was much more going on behind the scenes than we know about. Or may ever know about.

4. All the other stuff seems like a distraction.

This is really some 'beyond the pale' stuff
