a very balanced post, thanks Stanley. For me it is very hard to view RT as "persecuted", given the reasons I mentioned in my post; but I certainly understand why people read them. I will update my post and include a link to this! good for discussion :)
I don't stream any news from anywhere, streaming is too much like TV, but I do not miss Crosstalk and peruse the Op Eds on RT both of which I find worthwhile, I also appreciate the voice RT gives to US and Western dissidents. So, sympathy? Not exactly but I think the German censorship is wrong and to that extent I support RT.
Enemy of my enemy. Sure, they give an occasional platform to Western dissidents. But in doing so, are they really helping? No love for German censors, butI would always steer clear of state-run propaganda outlets. There are so many better alternatives.
