RT is the puppet of the Kremlin but it's a good news organization for topics that US MSM will not cover. That being said, I think Rand Paul is a douchebag and a phony like his father. Ron/Rand Paul fans are fucking idiots.

AJE does exactly the same thing but infinitely better.

most news organizations have some bias/slant to them. they're all controlled by a country/corporation with dubious motives so you have to read/watch as much as you can from many different sources to get the bigger picture.
the arab spring coverage by aljazeera was not adequate. genuine democracy in the middle east? like the qatari and saudi royal families would willingly give up all their power and wealth because their population asked for it.

AJE was the only coverage for bits of the Arab Spring.
I get that it's hip to go on this America sucks tirade but you want to have some discretion when picking your sources or the outlets you choose to associate with (hi, Julian Assange), or it's hard to take your arguments seriously.

you're doing such a fantastic job in showing how misinformed and stupid you are. stick to the australian politics thread no one seems to care about. at least you won't look like such a fucking tool.
what is it with this forums obsession with hipsters?
macbeth is right. you talk tough but you ain't shit, wanker.

Did Taiwan just throw down?

looks like killing children and goat farmers really fucked that poor guy up. especially with the $30 bill he's gonna have to correct that fender. do they have grants for that in the USA?Macbeth wrote:

what, are you trying to say any wikileaks-related information is somehow untrustworthy because julian assange is a sociopath who likes to touch women?Spark wrote:

Nah. More that Assange himself should consider his friends a bit more carefully if he wants to be taken seriously by serious people (apart from that... sexually assaulting sociopath thing). Wikileaks itself generally does good work (although they do sometimes go too far in the drive for publicity)

so where's the part that taiwan is linking to some assange-derived information?
If that Marine had been a black he likely would have been shot and killed on the spot based on that kind of behavior.Macbeth wrote:

but he didn't link to anything from julian assange. so why are you accusing him of having tenuous sources like julian assange, when none of his sources are tenuous for the same reasons julian assange is.

Be careful Uzi. If you make spark too upset he will rage quit the forum for a few months again.
i like his implication that every single remotely protest-y or information leak-y blog or news-source is automatically sullied because julian assange enjoyed fame and stroking women a little bit too much. yeah! let's not read any protest or hacktivist websites ever again, because julian assange hooked up with a woman in a hotel in sweden one time.
looks like he logged off. my patient line of inquiry about where taiwan mentioned a 'dirtied' or 'unreliable' news-source was clearly too much for his rigorously scientific mind.

I know he's your buddy, but 13/f sucks. It's gotten really old reading rants and opinions that never deviate from the ultra-left bible. Boring.
