for the most part these services are both circle the wagon and circle jerk in nature. circle the wagon because journalist of the same beliefs want to protect each other and circle jerk because their choices will simply be beneficial to those they already agree with. the public as I mentioned before will just dismiss it as more of the same. the internet is good at holding them to account and they don't like it.

That's not to say RT is a usable source, I'm not particularly interested in their coverage here. But I'm also not very interested in hearing what news Michael Hayden wants me to listen to.

Sure they might oppose the sitting President but would they publish something which would undermine stated US diplomatic policy?

Citation needed. It almost seems that you invented something just as an attempt to demotivate people from taking a look. Normally I don't watch videos, but this time I got curious, and I've seen only "Belgian Imam embroiled in the scandal" in the chyron.

But while checking that, I've found out that the video has some real points:

- Co-founder of the NewsGuard: former columnist of the Wall Street Journal, for which EFF wrote that he "repeatedly gets his facts wrong about the NSA surveillance."

- In Advisory Board: Michael Hayden, former NSA and CIA director, Tom Ridge, former First secretary of Homeland Security, Richard Stengel, former Undersecretary of State for Public Diplomacy

Maybe there was some tampering here and there but I got the impression when I lived there that most people thought he was good and supported him.

Systematically and violently suppressing any political opposition is a lot more than 'some tampering here and there'.

So they will fail not only because nobody uses Edge.

I suspect not, because in general, nobody can agree on a definition of it.

That said, I have no idea if they have done so.
