RT (English) is the most effective propaganda outlet, and psychological operation the Russians have ever ran.
It's so good that some Russians involved don't deny this.

RT is one of the most successful KGB programs of all time.
Can you imagine a foreign news station being more popular in the US than a national one?
Say it ain't so!!
Can the Kremlin then extend their political ideology, opinions and diplomatic goals through this TV medium, that I say again, is widely popular n the US?
Yes, yes they can.
Clever KGB and your propaganda news channel. ( although the reporting is better than most MSM..which says alot since it's still a bunch of crap overall.)

Russia is a semi-presidential republic. Unless they have reverted back into the CCCP without us noticing...

No.
Russia is still very hard for those not born of privilege.
Russia, with the Putin regime is looking more and more dictatorial then ever before.So i am not sure where you are getting Red fever from...
I to find the stories offered up by RT enlightening as it overs a different perspective on current issues. Mind you i did not say accurate or truthful reports, but when be critical is best to take all into account.
RT could be trying to wake up the average western citizen to how the world really sees the actions of western nations, which is generally unsupported.
RT promotes psy ops, fake protest movements and intelligence assets. This reveals that Russia's External Intelligence Service (SVR) collaborates with the CIA to advance the NWO. The KGB is an Illuminati instrument and works closely with the CIA. Soviet defector Yuri Bezmenov revealed that 85% of KGB activity was the promotion of communism (aka liberalism) in America. The CIA promoted the very same movements, e.g. feminist-icon Gloria Steinham received CIA funding. These collaborative projects are still ongoing.
Occupy Wall Street - RT heavily promotes Occupy, which focuses on economic disparities in the USA: the one per cent versus the 99% RT has gone so far to provide an iPhone application that allows you to track where other activists are congregated, so you know where to stand. Occupy is false opposition, a left-wing version of the Tea Party, featuring communists, hippies, anarchists, and socialists spouting vague slogans. George Soros funds seven of the main groups in New York to the tune of $3.5 million. These groups have been calling for pro-NWO policies. Adbusters, the anti-capitalist group that initiated the movement, call for a global carbon tax! Soros has ties with the Russian power elite dating back to the late 80s. He worked with the Gorbachev regime to engineer glasnost: the liberalization movement that was designed to bring down the Soviet Union. Glasnost (Eng: openness) was the loosening of censorship in the Soviet Union, which allowed the media to expose and mock the government. The social actors of glasnost - journalists, historians, artists' -were trained at The Cultural Initiative Foundation formed by George Soros in Moscow in 1987.

Funny... i was just looking at the Makow story too.
I think they do indeed have an agenda - just like every other news org, watch with usual diligence I guess.
Interestingly though, if you take a look at their about page: RT/About you'll see their partners, one of which is WhatreallyHappened.com
No, the Cold War never quite ended. There is a reason why Russia Today has embraced the Alex Jones/Jesse Ventura/Ron Paul conspiracy crowd with all it's 9/11 Trutherism. It absolves them of accepting the threat of Islamic extremism so they can continue to wheel and deal with said Islamists in a perpetual open war against the state of Israel and a quiet, covert war against America. Not only that, it is psychological propaganda war gold. Fuel civil unrest in your enemy's land. The Commies that never quite let go must love Infowars and the conspiracy nuts who want to bring about violent revolution in the United States. They also seem to have embraced Ron Paul's rise to stardom here, as it has challenged the status quo, shaken up the establishment a tad, and changed the political atmosphere in the United States. I wonder how many Russian agents are facilitating this phenomenon.
