Auburn85 432 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 http://www.mediaite.com/online/democratic-sen-shaheen-introduces-bill-to-investigate-rt-news/ Quote Senator Jeanne Shaheen has introduced legislation to give the Justice Department more authority to investigate RT America. Shaheen cites a recent intel report titled Assessing Russian Activities and Intentions in Recent US Elections that focuses a lot on RT and its propaganda as well as “anti-US messaging.” One section of the intel report that Shaheen picks up on in particular reads “RT America formally disassociates itself from the Russian Government by using a Moscow based autonomous nonprofit organization to finance its US operations. According to RT’s leadership, this structure was set up to avoid the Foreign Agents Registration Act and to facilitate licensing abroad.” The press release from Shaheen’s office says that the legislation is meant to give the DOJ “new authority to compel organizations like RT America to produce documentation on funding sources and foreign connections.” The senator herself tweeted out the following in announcing the legislation today: Follow Sen.

AURaptor 1,122 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 You want to look toward Canada to find out about American politics ? Mark Styne, not Samantha Bee, is where you should be looking. Maybe not as funny or easy on the eyes, but Mark knows a HELL of a lot more about what he's talking about than Samantha ever will when it comes to US politics and history.

Jihad tv, aka Al Jazeera , bit it on comcast due to poor ratings. Despite Hillary giving it the " real news " seal of approval. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auburn85 432 Posted March 18, 2017 Author Share Posted March 18, 2017 All I will say is that if some Democrats or some in the media choose to go down this "Kremlin Television" route, they better tread lightly. I could be wrong, so please correct if so, but the argument that "Trump did an interview on Kremlin Propaganda Television" stem from Trump going on Larry King's show? If that's the case, A LOT of people have gone on Larry King's show since it began airing on RT America. Also, several people have been on Thom Hartmann's program. I personally have no issue with RT America being on my satelite provider. I have no problem with them being allowed on television or youtube. However, if this turns out to the standard set, it may come back to bite some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auburn85 432 Posted March 19, 2017 Author Share Posted March 19, 2017 http://www.mediaite.com/online/why-appear-on-a-kremlin-propaganda-network-stelter-confronts-guest-on-russia-today/ Quote ‘Why Appear on a Kremlin Propaganda Network?’: Stelter Confronts Guest on Russia Today Today on CNN’s Reliable Sources, host Brian Stelter brought on former CIA analyst Larry C. Johnson to discuss the recent controversy over White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer using commentary from Fox News’ Andrew Napolitano that claimed British spy agency GCHQ had been wiretapping Trump Tower. As Stelter noted at the beginning of the segment, it appears that one can trace back Napolitano’s comments in numerous Fox segments to Johnson, who has been cited as one of the judge’s sources. (Johnson is a former Fox News contributor who is likely most known for pushing a Michelle Obama hoax.) Johnson noted that the day after Trump sent his infamous wiretap tweets, he was interviewed on Russia Today and stated that he had known that GCHQ was passing information, though it wasn’t done at the direction of former President Barack Obama. Johnson pointed out he heard about this from two different people within the intelligence community. “You had this second hand,” Stelter asked. “You didn’t get this information directly — you’re hearing it from others?” “I’m hearing it from people who are in a position to know,” Johnson responded. “That’s correct. I posted that on the discussion board and one of the individuals there shared that with the judge.” He added that he’s unsure who Napolitano’s other sources are. After a little bit of a back-and-forth over the influence and availability of RT as a media source, Stelter straight up asked Johnson, “Why appear on a Kremlin propaganda network?” “It’s not a Kremlin propaganda network,” Johnson retorted. He then praised the network for not doing pre-interviews with their guests. “I’m glad you’re here, I’m just concerned about the sourcing,” the CNN host replied. “The credibility here. you say it’s not a Kremlin propaganda network, we’ll put that to the side. It’s funded by Moscow. That’s why I say it that way.” Stelter then shifted back to Napolitano, wondering if Johnson felt it was appropriate for the judge to say what he did based on third and fourth-hand sourcing.
