| Putin's People Are Not Happy With Us |
| 2016-01-20 |
| "Not only has the network been further discredited by having to defend increasingly-obvious Kremlin deceptions, RT's claims about its importance and reach have also been undermined. Despite their boasts that they have the largest online audience of any news agency in the world, leaked documents and independent analysis of RT's own content show that the Kremlin-run news outlet is misrepresenting its viewership and in fact has a minuscule audience in the West. Not only are "its most-watched segments are on 'metrosexuals, bums,' and earthquakes," but its most popular content are video reposted from other news agencies. Many Youtube videos which feature RT's original content average between 200 and 300 views -- hardly comparable to the BBC or private networks like CNN or Fox." |

| #1 CNN who is that? BBC is nothing like what they once were. FOX is losing viewership now because of bias. News as with politics is a con game. I learned that back in the Vietnam days of news. Flip the station and its word for word or nearly so. |
