For those who believe that American media spews lies and that Russian media is a more truthful option, here’s a bit of good news. Russian programming from Sputnik Radio will now be broadcast from 6-9 AM and 6-9 PM on KCXL AM and FM in Kansas City.

Quote:
The lease agreement lets RM Broadcasting air its programming from 6 to 9 a.m. and 6 to 9 p.m. seven days a week. KCXL’s website, which says that it’s the radio station that will “tell you the things that the liberal media wont (sic) tell you,” lists Radio Sputnik in its morning programming.

A 2017 report by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence that evaluated Russian efforts to influence the 2016 election described Sputnik as “another government-funded outlet producing pro-Kremlin radio and online content in a variety of languages for international audiences.”

KCXL’s website today describes itself as an outlet that “will bring you the truth.”

“America is a very different country than it used to be,” KCXL’s website says. “We used to be a country of freedom, job, opportunity, and equality. Now, we are a country that looks down upon traditional values. We are a country that puts its citizens second to citizens of other countries.”

Might as well call it "Trump Radio".

The Russkies are finding issues that resonate with us due to Democratic policies of flooding our country with immigrants, we never asked for or wanted.

I am not in that radio station listening area, but anyone in the USA that has a Roku digital media device connected to their TV and internet modem can connect to RT (Russia Today) news and talk channel. It is free, and mostly commercial free. Every 20 or 30 minutes there is a short commercial break, often for Aeroflot russian airlines. The programming is in English aimed at the US audience.

I am not a trumpian in any way, nor so naive to think that everything on RT is true. It is however interesting to see the news from a different viewpoint, and many reports from Syria, Iraq, Iran and other places are very good. The RT talk shows on the other hand are like most political talk shows in the US, very opinionated. Larry King and Jessie Ventura found new homes with RT talk shows!

I'd believe RT before I'd belief NPR or any MSM broadcasting today.

A lot of Americans have already been getting their news from the Russians for the last 3-4 years. They were just too stupid to realize it.

Great, another propaganda source. Just what we need. Not. But I'm glad to see that Russia is no longer pretending to be a Democracy. It was a joke.

Trump wants and uses illegals as cheap labor at his properties. Just like the rest of the Republican politicians and business owners that want illegals to keep coming into the US. If they truly wanted to stop illegals, they would push for E-Verify to be a federal requirement.

Not even Trump has pushed for E-Verify. Why? GOP politicans WANT illegals to keep coming into the USA because illegals are cheap and disposable labor. They only pretend they want to stop illegals to trick voters. Trump loves illegals and has a long history of hiring them. He even had illegals working for his properties in 2019 and only got rid of them when the media found out.

Obama deported illegals at a higher rate than Trump. If you think Republicans politicians are anti-illegal, you have been fooled by the GOP politicians that tricked you for their vote.

This new Russian media will keep tricking you.

Putin’s stance on LGBT appeals to some Christians. Does the stance on abortion cancel that out?

Abortion is legal for any reason up to 12 weeks and the government pays for it. Lie about the date of your last period and you gain an additional 4 weeks +/- .. Russia has the highest reported abortion rate in the world.

More Muslims in Russia than anywhere else in Europe.

Like the rest of Europe and US, the number of people who do not identify with any religion grows each year.
