What makes you think this is some kind of conspiracy instead of the media looking for clicks?

The irony of this comment coming from a low karma, anonymous and brandnew account with a gibberish name should not be lost on you.

  Nice ad hominem.

    No, I just pointed it out to you that it was ironic. You, however, seem to read an attack into it. Which it wasn't. And of course you could immediately fix that if you did feel attacked by fleshing out your profile, which you intend to keep for years anyway so you can productively contribute to the conversation here, right?

      Generally not worth it because my accounts haven't lasted long these past years. :P

Ignore neighboring comment; he likes picking on anons because he's proud of what he writes on this site. The reason that this is probably somewhat conspiratorial, in the sense of being planned by a clandestine group, is because RT is well-known to be part of Russia's state propaganda machine [0]. Trusting RT either way, without examining their claims and sources carefully, is a bad idea.

  RT as a propaganda arm needs viewers to function as kerlin intended. RT was created to offer a kremlin approved perspective. RT would fail that purpose if its reach is limited. This is something we can all agree on, right? Russia want to draw certain audiences, that's a given right? So how is the neighbouring comment wrong or worth ignoring? Even tho the profit motive may not be there, RT value proposition to the kremlin is the same as vice, buzzfeed, and huffpost except that instead of ads, they seek get the audience to the site to expose to them to the kremlim approved narrative.

    > So how is the neighbouring comment wrong or worth ignoring? Well the neighboring comment raised none of the points you have. The neighboring comment did nothing more than draw attention to the username/karma of the 'jsjddbbwj' user, and insinuated that the user was part of a conspiracy by calling the comment ironic.
