    Just gonna drop this back in as a reminder. RT was all over the Biden's corruption back in 2014, but you could have heard a mouse fart coming out of the Fake News media. Yes, I am saying that RT is better than CNN and it's not even close.

    :bored::bored::bored: Such a sad attempt at derailing. You could have shortened it to "RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA". Truth hurts, eh?

    GEE,I wonder why George W. Bush appointed Hunter Biden to the Board of Directors of Amtrak???Maybe because he liked to ride trains or just maybe it was his Yale law degree that attracted the President???Biden at one point rose to be Chairman of the Board!

    To the topic, RT is at least competent at its propaganda, and remembers the primary rule of it, it must have a solid kernel of truth. The -best- propaganda, the type in the OP, is completely true and unadorned. To be successful, propaganda must be little pebbles of disinformation in a larger stream of irrefutable fact, something U.S. MSM gets horribly backwards to the great detriment of the gov-edu-union-contractor-grantee-trial lawyer-MSM Complex it serves.

    I'm thinking because joe Biden asked him too appoint his son and in return voted in a way that benefited Bush.
    What goes on in washington are backroom deals..which is why Trump is such a threat to corruption. But that is American politics...where politicians and their family members get rich once elected.
    So I'm willing to bet Joe Biden was willing to offer favors to China and Ukraine if they offered a lucrative "job" to his son.

    True, it's all relative, so to speak.
    Like Trump appointing his kids to positions at the White House, and days later the Chinese grant his daughter trade patents she has been trying to get and his son-in-law gets special treatment on his investment portfolio.
    Then Trump gives in to the President of Turkey on the Kurd issue, while he and his sons benefit from the Trump Towers business in Istanbul.

    Calling Trump a "threat to corruption" is hilarious. Sad, but hilarious.

    The other thing that sad, is that the Republican Party has become the echo chamber for Putin's disinformation campaign. Sad.

    I can't believe it. You are using RT as a source? Wow!. Next you will be using public statements from the Kremlin. You obviously prefer these sources over American sources.

    I'm curious. What is weather like in Moscow this time of the year? Cold, I bet.

    This was the inevitable result of Trumps "Fake News" campaign and has been more successful than either he or Putin could have hoped for. Putin has achieved his wet dream scenario and our own citizens have given it to him.....the best part is they don't even know it.

    Yes, speculation. That is all Trump's supporters have.

    I have asked this a dozen times on PF. I still have not gotten an answer. What exactly is the crime or corruption that the Bidens supposedly committed? Trump and his supporters have never said. They have just said there was corruption, but it has never been defined.

    That is the way it is with Trump, Barr, and the rest. For months, years, they will say some crime has been committed. Months ago, Barr said the FBI investigation of Russian interference in our election involved "spying." Trump, Barr, and the rest never bother explaining what they are talking about. They just make the accusations.

    After months, years, Americans have learned their accusations are based entirely on thin air.

    On rare occasions when Trump does explain, he is laughed out of Washington. For example, he accused Obama of spying on him during the election. Proof? There isn't any. The contrary is true. Americans never took him seriously.

    Well I see the usual lefty crew is out in force....must have struck a nerve...like telling the truth. Live in the liberal bubble all you like, I personally don't give a damn, but I can attest from first hand experience that your average Russian is no where close to being a commie as is the Democrat party in this country.

    First it's a video. Second it's a reporter asking a question in the White House briefing room. Deal with it.

    There's one major difference. RT is funded by the Russian regime, whereas CNN is commercial media. RT costs money, while CNN has to generate money.

    RT tells you, what Pootin wants you to believe. CNN tells you what most people are interested in because they need to make money.

    If you like Russian propaganda lies, you should definitely choose RT. :)

    What's sad and hilarious is that you don't seem to be able to parse out the difference (or have been manipulated to ignore it) between flat out bribes given to politicians and their families who have no documented history whatsoever of private sector acumen and success, and the inevitable business realities and complications attached to a preexisting global private sector enterprise that transitions into the public sector.

    Don't think Ivanka Trump should get IP concessions in China, or more importantly, that she would not have received concessions BUT FOR her new political power in the U.S. administration? Fine, make your case and I might agree with you if you argue the point fairly, but it needs FAR more facts than shoddy apples/oranges assumptions. But ASSUMING that is corruption despite the fact that she was engaged in such business prior, and apparently successfully so, is unreasonable. Equating that to the flagrant corruption of outright giving bags of money to irrefutably unqualified children of politicians in direct exchange for political favors comes nowhere close to a reasonable comparison.

    As far as "nepotism" in the Trump Administration? Someone needs a primer in Jacksonian politics. Especially the case in an outsider Administration like Trump's where all manner of establishment factions, even from within the Republican Party, have been waging total war against the Administration since the instant he became the GOP nominee.

    CNN is a sad joke. They actually pay airports to broadcast their garbage.

    If you like Democrat propaganda, you should definitely like NPR and PBS.

    They should. How many times has Trump ignored our many seasoned intelligence officials in favor of whatever story Putin whispered into his ear? Remember the obsequiousness of Trump's behavior in Helsinki, and the G20 summit sit-down he had with Putin, attended by only one interpreter who's notes Trump took, telling the interpreter not to talk about the meeting.

    "I don't care. I believe Putin." -- Trump's actual words to our intelligence professionals in 2017. Why can't his worshippers see that?

    Truth from RT? Since when?

    https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/rt-news/

    RT is a Russian propaganda outlet. Calling their drivel truth is like walking up to Vladimir Putin and handing him your cojones.

    Sad but True. RT is where voices that decent from the Establishment narrative go ... people that Fox, CNN, MSNBC will not touch.
