Outraged US congressman, journalists fall for fake Trump quote by TIME contributor
{He further added that the quote was "objectively completely ludicrous" but might have seemed plausible to those who think uncritically. "Especially on Twitter, where people automatically support whatever political position they have."}
{The various commentators were not pleased at having completely proved Bremmer's point, with many demanding an apology and accusing him of giving ammunition for Trump's crusade against "fake news."}
I'll just leave that right there where it lays.

RT is a Russian government funded news source. And yes, that provides the American establishment a ton of false rhetoric to create a false narrative that it is used as Russian propaganda aimed at America. But the truth is it provides American journalist who can't get covered in or by American MSM within the US. And again yes, they are branded as Russian agents often, again, falsely.
I am an avid watcher of the Rick Sanchez news program at nights. He provides a totally different view on US news you will not hear from our MSM. It's the difference between night and day. He even has a couple of right wing political analyst on his show he allows to give their opinions on matters. I don't care for them, and personally think he goes to easy on them, but Sanchez provides what is obviously a more accurate and fact based atmosphere he debates with them. Even allowed one of them to run the show for a week he took off. Actually doing a decent job of being fair and honest.
There are a number of really good programs on RT that could do our country good if people could get past the false rhetoric. I'd go into those people but we are getting ready to go out riding and get something to eat. Here is a list of the shows, mostly American. [rt.com] If there's any you'd like some information on I watch about a half dozen of them I'll be happy to give you my opinion on later. I'm sure you've seen my post of Chris Hedges videos, one of my favorites. Sanchez use to be an anchor in the Florida area. But ran into issues and became distraught when they began suppressing the type of coverage he wanted to cover. Another Robert Parry type of deal.
RT America----[en.wikipedia.org]
The bigger picture is critical thinking being replaced by knee jerk reactions to every damn thing put up on twitter and other social media outlets as well as MSM.
Is it too much to ask to just shut the fuck up? No I guess there is no ratings to chase with that approach. What Bremmer did is no different than trump retweeting the fake Pelosi vid. Every side has their agenda.
Both sides are manipulative and the sheeple just follow along.
