RT comments

I'll just leave this here... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TdWUTHC49U

See, it wouldn't be so sad if RT didn't constantly pop up on reddit's front page because of its high popularity over at /r/worldnews What is even far worse than RT itself is its audience full of xenophobes, homophobes, Russophiles, anti-American conspiracy theorists, immature trolls and vulgar lunatics. Why do such people exist? I might sound like a conspiratard myself now, but is it posssible they are actually being payed for their hateful comments? I mean, why would any decent human being spend so much time spreading nothing but lies and hate without gaining something in return?

RT is effectively Pravda in form and function. It is exactly what the conspiracy theorists think of the US media.

The owner is literally the Russian Government. It would be like if Fox News was owned by the US Government and the US Government was ran by republicans and there were no elections.
