I didn't know much about him before this, so thanks for the links. I have, though, made a study of the kinds of coverage propaganda outlets like RT, Press TV and CCTV show to western audiences (versus what's allowed or aired domestically); their constant attempts to wash their own dictatorship's warlike and repressive agenda through a melange of pseudo-progressive-sounding moral positions that are cynically designed to appeal to disenchanted Americans who have no clue how those same positions directly conflict with said dictatorship's actual policies; and the revolving menagerie of useful idiots, lunatics and traitors they employ to put a patina of believability on it through "arts and culture" with a heavy emphasis on the oppression of any group of people besides, obviously, the citizens of their own country or others they themselves currently make a career out of oppressing. I'm hopeful this gimmick on which they've wasted vast resources is obviously bunk to almost everyone, at least in America. Even here in Portland, it would only spare you a few minutes before your lynching if you said you worked for RT rather than for Fox News.
