Even on RT's ten
more serious shows there is no urging of prosecution for international
crimes. To this writer's knowledge, in reporting on what are in reality the most
obvious violations of international law, RT shows never promote a public
demand that the continuing profitable and genocidal use of Western
armed forces and clandestine agencies be prosecuted and justice served
for survivors. Though exposing a good deal of US machinations, RT leaves
basic US deceit unreported, even willingly supports them, e.g. RT daily
evening news commentator Thomas Hartman, says,"of course Assad is a brutal dictator" (in full and outspoken agreement with the CIA's concocted and mainstream media propagated evaluation).
RT is only half critical of the US, NATO and UN, and at that, presents its criticism as if wholesale mayhem can be attributed to it bad or mistaken US policies, never to prosecutable genocidal crimes against humanity in dire need of public outrage and clamorously serious discussion.
This then is our conundrum. Either we watch no TV and miss out on the RT exposes of some of what some of us know are US NATO UN prosecutable crimes against humanity, which RT describes as otherwise, or we watch RT exposes along with RT's diplomatic dancing around the rest of US perfidy, which in effect protects that perfidy from being recognized and from awakening any serious demand for prosecution.
There are many topics which RT covers, that are rarely or never seen on criminal CIA involved mainstream media, but given RT's tacitly ignoring the Nuremberg Principles of International Law, and emphasis on entertainment, all the news and info one gets from RT seems to boil down to information for information's sake, edifying only up to a certain limited point - and this author is disgusted by programing irreverent to the dead and dying, and to one's sensitivity regarding inappropriate and embarrassing sarcasm, wherein jokes are made in fun about perpetrators of genocide getting away with murder, and therefore able to continue profitable but illegal genocide.
You author had been assuming that RT was an exception to Einstein's description of our hopelessly controlled information. This article seeks to point out his reassessment of RT viewing, in that rendering only half of the truth can function in the same way as half truths function, and thus would fit well within Einstein's, "Under existing conditions, private capitalists inevitably control, directly or indirectly, the main sources of information (press, radio, education). It is thus extremely difficult, and indeed in most cases quite impossible, for the individual citizen to come to objective conclusions and to make intelligent use of his political rights."
