If you say stupid things, then that is your right. But if I then say that I think you are stupid, that is also my right. What you don't seem to understand is that our media is "controlled" by a free market. There are tons of online magazines which share your world view. The audience can choose these outlets. If news media with these world views were popular enough, they would get their own TV channels, and the money from advertising and subscription would enable them to reach even more people. But they suck. The vast majority disagrees with their views, "logic" and "solutions". That's why they are called "fringe" media.

>What you don't seem to understand is that our media is "controlled" by a free market. What you don't seem to understand is that you're arguing against yourself. On one hand you decry the increasingly mainstream "Russia Today"'s alleged partiality. On the other hand, you use an appeal to economics to dismiss Western media's pro-Israel partiality. In other words, the manipulation of discourse by Israel-partisan Jews is excused via free market economics, yet, Russia's national media outlet---created by way of the market with Russia's wealth---is dismissed via appeals to ethics... ethics which Western media itself fails to practice. Gentile-controlled media outlets such as Al Jazeera and Russia Today can no longer be dismissed as "fringe". Indeed, the West may be just one more WMD-war away from a widespread loss of trust in Western, Israel-first media.
