The new authoritarianism

There is only one list that RT and Al Jazeera belong in together; the "what two news organizations are polar opposites of each other?" list.

Anyway, the point is diversity, not supremacy. Don't watch BBC or Al Jazeera because it's supposedly "better" than US media; watch because its bias is in different areas. All it does is help you in evaluate a different point of view. Worst case, you hear the same thing twice.

Except RT. That's just trash.

Thanks - that was what I should have said more clearly: more diversity is better.

RT and AJ are both pro status-quo for their Establishment. So for me, they're in the same league but I always love to check the perspectives for the big players on the world stage from time to time to see what they're up to.
