Living in middle Europe, I have access to RT when I want it - and I do seek it out to balance the agitprop of CNN against the agitprop of RT. There is very clear evidence that the censorship of RT is not to avoid 'incorrect data' from being propagated, but to silence the other side and make support for war against them more profitable. Europe has a very definite problem with hatred these days; certain darling states of western liberal democracy are a lot more racist and intolerant than people realize. I think it's important to pursue information sources and not just have them handed on a plate. This is why I also seek out Al-Jazeera too - my neighbors are Muslim, and I would be doing them a disservice in our weekly conversations about the world if I were to not inform myself from their perspective, too. In this world of identität-über-alles, fragile, weak personalities are easily broken by the challenges imposed by empathy and mutual respect. Too many weak spirited souls are incapable of thought precisely because they've painted their little boxes a certain colour - I think its vital to not only live in multiple boxes, or at least - work hard to broaden the dimensions of ones box - but to also paint it multiple colours. I thoroughly enjoy the conversations to be had with my Ukrainian, Iranian, Russian, American, British and Australian friends - the diversity of opinion is very interesting and enriching. But, it is very true, they all have their own brightly painted boxes. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
