An Honest Perspective from a Very Left-leaning News Organization
 
I was a Russian Linguist/intercept operator in the military, and since
the advent of youtube I have subscribed to RussiaToday, since I still
have a casual interest in Russian affairs. RT runs daily newsclips
on Youtube, and as a news organization it sits well to the Left of
things. Too, RT covers American politics with alacrity. This clip is
a rather surprising interview conducted by RT. It's rather
interesting, and their assessment of the American press, I think,
can't be so readily dismissed.

Just to follow up, quickly. This is a case where it should be
difficult for left-leaning persons to use the circumstantial ad
hominem for which they have an irresistable penchant. It's not as
though such a person can say, "Well, what do you expect from a GOP
backed news organization!" I have no doubt, though, that some
left-leaning person will sneak in some fallacy to in an attempt to
innoculate the implications of this interview.

I think you don't have a clew. In any case, despite several fallacious
statements, I don't see the problem with criticizing Pres. Obama when he
deserves criticism. So, I don't see what point you're trying to make. Is any
person perfect? No. But, if you're going to compare Obama to Bush, well, we
all know there was and is no skepticism or criticism allowed for Bush's
reign, at least not by the likes of someone like you.

Huh? Why would anybody argue with this?
Might as well argue the sun rises in the west.
Do you have a point to make?
If so, I missed it.

I really didn't think I was that oblique in my presentation. I
certainly don't have a "clew" as to what you're attempting to rebut.
The point here is that a consipcuously left-leaning news organization,
Russia Today, is matter-of-factly stating that the American news media
has a tangible left-wing bias for the most part. And RT doesn't have
a dog in the fight, so to speak. IOW, they're fairly detached
observers of the american political conversation in this respect.
Consequently, it robs the left-leaning pundits of one of their
favorite informal fallacies, the circumstantial ad hominem, in
defending the liberal media.

Let me get this straight... you're a right-wing nutcase citing a Russian
source that considers the possibility that Obama might not be perfect. Yet,
there I'm doubtful that there's a single person on this newsgroup who
believe Obama should not be criticized if he deserves it. Even MSNBC
criticizes him multiple times a week.

Do you consider Rush or O'Really liberal? How about Lew Dobbs? I won't even
mention the moron Glen Beck.
