This thing is a casualty of war, it's always happened as long as occupying armies have been in foreign countries. These are not robots, they are humans with feelings and vulnerabilities. And they are heavily armed.
The people acting like animals are Americans. Flush out your headgear and turn off FOX News, its a big world out there.

So.......if this is true, what nations have Muslims invaded and slaughtered hundreds of thousands of innocent people? And which ones have Americans invaded and done the same?

Guess that kinds of blows up your rightwing propaganda. Try again.

I'm sure if the CIA launched America Today and operated in a similar fashion you'd be the first to denounce it as ridiculous propoganda (as you should). Again, I am not saying that this story is necessarily untrue ... don't know.. but what I do know is that I will not take this source's word for it, or for anything else ... and neither should you.
They have, it's called CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX all the owners, OWN Gov't.

The point is that they Rat each other out. Russians Rat out the West and vise versa...

KUchief, its people like you who make me ashamed to be in this country sometimes, try understanding the world a little bit better and try not to make such sweeping generalizations of an entire country and try to brush up on your history as well and understand that we armed the Taliban to fight off the Russians and are in power right now because they are the most supported group in the region.

How do you think they are capable of gaining power and support? Have you ever seen the video of women and villagers willingly cooking and treating wounds of Taliban soldiers?

That is their country and their land, they do no like outsiders coming in and bombing them and killing civilians. AKA the USA and NATO.

I mean christ try to grow a brain and view things without the American Exceptionalism pounded into your head. Its called being educated and informed.
People like that are perfect candidates for the Ignore function.

Russia today, tomorrow the world - Europe - World - The Independent

(Unless you think that the Bilderberg group is secretly running the world, or you are a birther, you will find many RT news stories of dubious quality in the Independent's story on it.)
Sorry, read your link and nothing was said about RT that could be said about Faux 1000 times over.

Lol, one news outlet writing about another news outlet, no chance of any biases creeping in there.

Funny, the Independent uses the Al Jazeera English news
channel for all of its video clips used online. No bias there.

The Independent has their own "strangeness"....

The Independent took a strong editorial position against the Iraq War and aspects of US and UK foreign policy related to the War on Terra following the 9-11 attacks.

The paper has also taken strong positions on environmental issues, campaigned against the introduction of ID cards, and campaigned against the restriction of mass immigration to the UK.

In 1997 the Independent was campaigning for the decriminalisation of cannabis, but now it is campaigning against pot.

Show me one news report where they got it wrong, reported falsehoods, intentional concealed facts that change the meaning of the report, used doctored video, lied about or "misreported" poll results (all things Faux does on a regular basis).

Back yourself up.

How about the testimony of the families. Notice they say American's.
Karzai even says 1 soldier did not do this.

The men were escorted out, while the women and children were killed.

You don't see how a "news" outlet that is operated by the intelligence agency of a nation is something far beyond bias? Again, you're hopeless dude. David Petraeus does not control and direct CNN, Fox, MSNBC, etc. The director of Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service does direct RT. Big, big difference. If you're unable to see it -- oh well. I can only hope that most aren't. You can fool some of the people all of the time, I guess -- Putin was banking on that, I'm sure, when he decided to launch RT.

The CIA does not direct any news outlets inside of the US. Sorry you think that it does. I guess you're the kind of guy who thinks that if watch Michael Moore and Rush Limbaugh you've done your job of informing yourself because they balance each other. I see it differently. I think both Moore and Limbaugh are proven liars who distort and manipulate the truth. I tune out both of them.

Explain the US coverage of the OWS protest.
