The only time I ever see Russia Today cited is when it has something to do with a conspiracy theory, or some kind of anti-government movement.

They're like the Russian counterpart to Fox News.

Actually there its an American news agency as well. They tell it like it is, unlike most of the popular media outlets who continually lie and put a spin on information to make more profits. Thats okay never question anything, just stay docile and dumb because they are always right.

American news agency? They are more or less the propaganda arm for the KGB.

You do realize they are state funded? They constantly report every story in the most anti-Western way possible while totally ignoring the countless atrocities commited by Russians. You view what "like it is" actually is must be beyond warped.

Oh yes because he provides such convincing evidence.

A story about his hotel being looted and than he just puts in an unsubstantiated claim of NATO war crimes with no source, no pictures or even witnesses to these so called war crimes. I would be surprised if he has stepped outside the hotel in a week

I have no doubt there have been casualties and collateral damage due to NATO bombings but to use that guy as evidence that NATO has caused more harm than good is a joke.

Its amazing how people can think NATO is working in the interests of peace, when they are the ones causing most of the damage and casualties.
So its ok that the Libyan government was using its own military and mercenaries to murder their own people en masse because of the numbers?

But its not ok for Nato to attack Libya's military and military logistical infrastructure because they're killing Ghadafi sympathizers in greater numbers?

Thats pretty insane logic.

NATO has attacked numerous civilian targets. I dont see how that is killing Gaddafi sympathizers. Doesnt sound very humanitarian to me.

http://af.reuters.com/article/libyaN...BrandChannel=0

A school is one of the many civilian buildings NATO has targeted. Lucky for them there were no children inside at the time. Just the fact that the school was targeted raises many red flags.

http://www.france24.com/en/20110619-...-arada-tripoli

Its all documented. I will agree that Gadaffi is probably guilty as charged but NATO isnt totally innocent in all of this.

Libyan civilians were reporting that Gaddafi forces were using schools and hospitals as command centers.

Oh please, the "west" already had oil contracts, just because we're in the country doesnt mean we take all the oil and give them nothing.

Even if Gadaffi was in the school, its still a civilian target. So lets sacrifice the lives of 20 kids to kill 1 man?

RT America is based out of Washington DC. If its so anti-western why are they allowed to broadcast in the United States?

You said yourself there was no kids in there, its safe to say NATO did a little bit of investigating prior to leveling the building. You should just stop now, you're completely out to lunch here.

It is called Freedom of the Press. Something that is practiced in the US and Canada, but not much of the rest of the world.
