Havent heard of PressTV yet, but Russia Today is truly a interesting and reliable source, apart from the fact that they never report on Russian corruption

But I enjoy the moderators at RT, they are well-versed and knowledgeable people.

They would say that wouldn't they?

Press T.V has covered the Occupy Protests and I always watch it in order to get a fuller picture of what is going on. They are not afraid to show or report on things thatthe Western MSM dare not.

Of course they an Iranian Channel, so they are pro Iranian, but if you can see beyond this is an informative alternative.

RT again if you want an alternative view point, tune in.

TPTB hate these channels simply because they don't toe the party line, so to speak.

I love RT and of course Max and Stacey what a show, how well informed are they and the guests.

Russian tv has opened up Russia for me and shown such a fascinating country. Its wildlife and national parks, its archetecture the amazing diversity of its people and their skills and craft. They have a guy who goes round the country showing you a different city and their specialities, tonight he did the film industry in Moscow. Russia was a complete mystery but to see a programme where they showed these huge old cars, beautiflly made, I though it was the USA, I never realised they had such a car industry.

I found Press tv pretty good also although a lot of the announcers were very wooden.

I expect wherever a government operates a veil of tv censorship, channels who pierce that veil will be considered the enemy. But just look at the standard of news here its diabolical. Kay Burley spends the afternoon giving us the same small pieces of news over and over again. You can't watch it for any length of time, its an insult to your intelligence. Skys now is sticking on the Jackson trial. All due respect to MJ's fans and followers, but this is a major news channel and Europe is currently falling to pieces, certain parties want to bomb Iran etc etc and etc and the world is going to hell in a handcart.

I read and watch them online. The news reporting in UK is abysmal.

It's easy enough to show them this simply by not watching their channels.

I used to watch just to see what lies they were telling and truth they omitted. No more, they are not getting my viewing to add to their ratings.

Namaste.

If any ATS members from the U.K have Sky, then you can watch Press T.V on channel 515.

Failing that then you can watch it online. Peace.

Stars and Flags for bringing this up Vitchilo!

Funny how TPTB realize that propaganda is not working anymore, when freedom of press really exists.
The people are just not buying it anymore.


The numbers are clear, a quote from the german Wiki (have not found any other source, please post, if you find any)

Die US-Außenministerin Hillary Clinton mahnte bei einem Auftritt vor dem US-Kongress Anfang März 2011, aufgrund des verstärkten Erfolges von staatlichen Fernsehsendern wie Russia Today drohten die USA, den „global info war“ zu verlieren. RT habe auf Youtube bereits nahezu 300 Millionen Aufrufe, während CNN kaum 3 Millionen erreicht habe.[10]

Translates roughly to;

"Clinton is warning (March 2011); Because of the rising success of state TVs as Russia Today, the US risks to loose the "global info war". RT has already about 300 Million hits, while CNN just reached 3 Millions."

Note; she mentions "global info war". She just does not give a flying *bleep* about journalism or free press.
All she is concerned about is the "global info war", which is pure simple propaganda. Very telling.

Hillary, it's the 21st century,
we are informed,
we do not want propaganda,
we want journalism,
we want the real news.

US corporate shill media getting angry at their one-sided patriotic propaganda bull**** being stomped on by way of open, transparent, calling a spade a spade, "freedom of the press-type", truth speaking foreign media outlets ?

Surely you jest.

I totally agree.
Maybe those attending the protests should carry a few Signs supporting Press TV ?
