Complaining about censorship when you've thrown in with the Russian state media is just absurd.
Here's an experiment for Chris Hedges: try doing a show on RT denouncing Putin and his war on Ukraine. At the very least RT will do exactly what Youtube has done and refuse to carry it. Or how about doing a show on RT denouncing the much worse censorship going on inside Russia right now?
Hedges is practically the definition of the "useful idiot".

- drewcoo 5y agoRT allowed editorial control; it was not controlled by the Russian government. It allowed people effectively blacklisted by US mainstream media to have an outlet. I think the talking heads who parrot government propaganda, stenographers to the powerful, on CNN or MSNBC would closer fit the definition of "useful idiot."
