Atasas Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 no offense but that RT channel is flame throwing, absolute looney one... every week comes up with some demise on to whole "western world" whilst home are applauding putin.... :frusty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyo Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 RT is mostly presenting the Western world correctly, this cannot be said about CNN, NBC, FOX etc. I never saw a clip from RT that is promoting Russia, but I've heard there was some controversy at one point. I don't give a damn about it too, as long as they serve good news about what interests me.So what if they're "flame throwing"? Isn't it deserved? Are you proud of what US is doing in the world or something? Not that UK, France or other rich countries are better.Instead of choosing to see the truth in their reporting, people grasp at straws ans seek mistakes and try to present RT as a propaganda instrument. I doubt one can be so blind to not see how deeply flawed this whole "capitalism" thing is, creating more rich for the richer and leaving 90% of the planet in deep poverty and constant wars. I am so tired of this, I don't have words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toyo Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 Atasas, show me the propaganda. No more accusations without proof. And also show me the lies in the RT videos about West, as you say they're not to be taken seriously. I have watched maybe 100 clips from their YT page and there's some good journalism there, and they're talking about subjects that other news channels desperately avoid. This is not about some capitalism/communism dispute, this is about the human society failing at the hands of a few thieves that suck the life out of it. Also, is there a better alternative for news?

Atasas Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Atasas, show me the propaganda.What the average US citizen desires: Shopping vs World NewsNo more accusations without proof. And also show me the lies in the RT videos about West, as you say they're not to be taken seriously. I have watched maybe 100 clips from their YT page and there's some good journalism there,100's etc?... most as what I used to check where for educational(alternative reporting) or simply laugh sakesand they're talking about subjects that other news channels desperately avoid. (%) This is not about some capitalism/communism dispute, this is about the human society failing at the hands of a few thieves that suck the life out of it.(*)Also, is there a better alternative for news?1(%)- I don't agree- conspiracy!2- it is a matter about "presenting" - flaming of few extremes of democracy as an Report on to majorities views. Some fella, that never seen "rotten capitalism" himself will make an conclusion as such3(*)- capitalism vs communism views difference?- matter of individuals making more efforts/ways to prosper own-self... other one is not to have such and live as all being told to you, being accepting as what is general average best what one (all) can have. Thus is not natural- corruption in communism is even greater, than western societies.4- yes, there are many alternatives to all views/reporting, yes general directions of "western media" sometimes biased, but rarely are daft propaganda . Alternative views- OK, worth seeing, but not as a rule to follow.What would I recommend as for news input?- simply see all (including by RT)- sift away BS- make your own mind after learning "facts" from at least two different perspective presentations. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyo Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 The title is mine... It doesn't point any fingers, I tried to make it show what the clip contains, as the RT title (Shopping seizes minds leaving no room for world news?) was not so inspired. Does it lie?!?Anyway, that was disappointing. You bring no proof. Harsh accusations without solid proof mean nothing. It's only YOUR OPINION, which might be wrong.It's obvious I cannot reason with you, as your mind is already set on something, since you claim all kinds of things without having any serious evidence. You believe what I want, feel free to post "Crap", "BS" or whatever you desire when I will post more RT news. Let's just agree we disagree and leave it at that.

Atasas Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 only if you would not stated your opinion about my opinion as not an reasonable opinion.I stated about RT being worthless, but not about your, which concludes mine about yours as uninformed/unreasonabletherefore I agree with your opinion about agreeing to disagree, but not about as why RT is piss-artists propagandists...

Snowdrop Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Funny video, but seriously. If I could get something for a really low price, I'd finish my shopping before worrying about what's happening halfway across the world. Does that mean I care more about shopping than the world news? Hardly.Whether this video is true or not, consider the time of season it is. It is true in that people have shopping up on their priority list right now, but that doesn't mean they always think that way. IMHO, this does not represent what the average US citizen represents due to the fact that it is not comprehensive enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyo Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 You missed the point of the video.Those guys had NO IDEA about what's happening in other places, and it was not because of the holiday season, it's just their indifferent way of life. Some watch TV, but they would rather see the "Cooking channel" or some sports, why would they care about war and poor dying people... Surely, this is not true for each US citizen, but there are many of them that are just careless and compromised by the advertising culture, "zombified", I'd say.And why would you finish shopping first?!? Why is it so important? People dying or being hungry and oppressed are surely more important, I don't see how distance matters, they're humans, just like you are, Somali, Arabs, Chinese - it doesn't matter. HUMANS.

Tweety.Abd Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Those guys had NO IDEA about what's happening in other placesThe place where I live, most of the people are aware of the sufferings around the world, but there are hardly anyone who really cares. Even among the small percentage of those who do care, do so on the basis of specificity. While some believe life is too short worrying, specially about something that's happening hundreds of miles away from you. Reading or learning about other's suffering is a waste of their time which could be potentially invested in other 'productive' ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
