I think RT was literally shut down (with people laid off) by Russia... sooo yeah.
I saw a thing about it on Reddit earlier today/yesterday (seemed to be about the Russian channel?), and this[1] seems to be about the American wing.

- staindk 5y agoAh I see now, thanks. Went through my history and realised that in a thread talking about EU RT being shut down, this[1] thread was linked which I thought was about RT but I see now that it isn't. Looks like RT is/was very government-backed and spreading a ton of misinformation - so I can understand why people would want to shut it down (for spreading verifiably incorrect information), but on the other hand can also see why it's not a good look :/ [1] https://www.reddit.com/r/ukraine/comments/t5ug4p/the_entire_staff_of_the_russian_tv_channel_the/ https://www.reddit.com/r/ukraine/comments/t5ug4p/the_entire_...
