Right... I hope you have to at least laugh while writing stuff like that? I am genuinely baffled that people consider that news channel to be a viable source of information.

Who is "Kiev"? People of the Ukraine who will not fight with russians and you know why is that.
Take a look how many commanders of the ukrainian army join with Russia. The only military power in Ukraine who will fight with russians is neo-nazis. But they would be removed very quick by the russian' ВДВ.

Russian TV channels have a good track record of not being controlled directly by the government... oh wait.
That's like saying if you want to get an idea of what's going on in North-Korea you should watch their news or one should have listened to the news fabricated by Goebbels and taken it as pure truth.

Russia can't be trusted, this should be evident to anybody whose memory is longer than that of a goldfish.

All media sources are biased, some more than others, and depending on the venue. The US media has really went down hill since Desert Storm, to where it has become more activists oriented and while not lying, omits and spins the details.

In global affairs, BBC, RT, and Al Jazeera are in my opinion the most credible, though I take it with a grain of salt when this involves local reporting, but even still seems more informative than the Fox/NBC/CNN in the US, if for anything, the US media omits too many items.

Having a media controlled/influenced by the gov is no better or worse than one controlled/influenced by corporations. The fact is, people should be more well versed in areas of history and current affairs, and not take information from one source, but from many sources, and come to a conclusion. Instead, we have masses of people forming opinions based off of clips from Fox News, and the last history item they have read was in high school or college, and vote alone single social issues like abortion or gay marriage.

No, I wept wondering why is some people so prejudiced, narrow-minded and can't see the reality soberly? Why it's so easy to manipulate them? Why are they so blinded by their mind?

I live in USA for almost 17 years and I couldn't find a credible news channel in America as RT and Al-Jazzera. I am comparing different news sources and can see all the BS that western people' eating on a daily basis. But most of them even don't aware of it. Sigh..

This opinion or hope is not only entitled to the US politicians. I can't speak for any other nation but for my own. But my country reflects this statement very much.
