Here is an excellent 5-minute report on RT (Russia Today, a global news network) about the Occupy Wall St protests now going on in multiple US cities:
Not only is this extremely thoughtful reporting, in sharp contrast to what you see in the US media, but their guest is James Corbett (woot!), an alternative blogger / reporter. (I've followed him for some time, he's a really good guy and does some great work, check out his site.) RT frequently has such alternative researchers on its network. One of the reasons it does that, admittedly, is to poke a finger in the eye of the US establishment, which fears these independent muckrakers.
American and British media, which have global reach, have been waging information warfare for decades, more or less unopposed by any other major government. (al-Jazeera, which seemed to have so much promise early on, seems now to be afraid of United States disapproval, possibly because we openly targeted their offices and reporters during the second Iraq War.) Now there is RT to oppose Anglo-American media domination, and there's no question RT has its own agenda. But because the US is an empire without any clothes, all they really have to do to oppose us is to speak the truth.
Max and Stacy now report on RT three days a week, in their usual entertaining style... do check them out!
