wirez Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 The BBC is clearly a deeply corrupt institution now desperately trying to cover up their long-standing hypocrisy and bias. Amazes me that some folk buy into the pish about good old "Auntie" and are horrified at the thought of watching a state sponsored news channel like RT. Bit of perspective is needed here. RT might very well be a load of old Kremlin tat....but is a channel that we can only watch live, if we first pay our own state broadcaster over £150 or face having the law on us. Old "Auntie" needs a mass boycott of their yoon broadcasting tax. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just is, it's much much better than all the others. I would encourage anybody to give it a try. And also to read what people like mad keiser say about comparisons between the BBC and RT, having worked for both. One of them is propaganda, but not the one most think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandarilla Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 RT doesn't deserve the absolute contempt that it's treated with by the established political class in Britain - but let's not get carried away. Anyone relying on one, or even two sources for their news need their head looked at. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Jo Jo Junior Shabadoo Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 I get all my news from the Viz. At least it is better than the Express. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wirez Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 I have no trust of RT or any other state/billionaire sponsored newscorp groups. Simply stating the fact that to legally view any of them you have to first hand over £150+ to our own state sponsored broadcaster. A ridiculous unsustainable situation going forward. The "cash in the attic" boomer generation is rapidly starting to fall off the perch. Out of date bollocks that should have died with the dog licence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is every bit the instrument of state that Russia today is....... Only much better at it. The beeb is the master, where the likes of RT and Fox are just apprentices. The BBC (or those behind it) have had years more practice in the dark art, have managed to become much more embedded within the national psyche and have therefore become much more skilled in fooling a gullible population. Anyone who takes what is broadcast from the beeb in relation to politics, at face value, is naive or a simpleton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
git-intae-thum Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 still waiting on the tory, labour and various U-KOK youtube channels being hit with beeb copyright notices btw. Surely in the interests of political impartiality we won't be waiting too long. Or was it all just a big misunderstanding blown out of proportion by those nasty nats 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wirez Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 You can only imagine the spin the BBC would put on Iran/Russia/Syria etc charging the public a national tax in order to view outside broadcasts....but here we accept it as meek dafties. As one of the previous posters said...the BBC are masters at playing up the BritNat propaganda. This is a personal favourite of how other countries and cultures are portrayed to open up some eyes on the shite we are served up - 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do know the videos actually champ. But there's no point engaging with you over this.
