    Ummmm... okay, I’m kinda confused here. RT is a front for the Russian government and US News and World Reports is... um... still around?

    Really? Holy crap, the internet confirmed it. Wow, I thought it ceased being relevant decades ago...

    Am I’m missing a deeper point. Or any sort of comparison. People sue the government over FOIA requests every year and the number has been progressively growing:

    Strangely enough, one of the only things the right seems to be “progressive” on.

    Articles on conservative websites (citing the AP, of course) with headlines screaming about how you won’t read any of this in the lamestream media in 3...2...1....

    Wait we’re really citing Russia Today up in here?

    I know our transparency friends are losing they shit but did anyone think the first black president was not gonna keep it tight?

    Seriously over 50% of the requests happened in 2016 so we know what that’s all about.

    You could tell me Obama spent his spare time murdering puppies and kittens and I’d STILL say he was better than the current “president”. Easily. No contest.

    I truly hope The Root hasn’t been co-opted by the FSB with the intent on becoming a propaganda and intelligence laundromat like wikileaks.

    If by chance this was an honest mistake and you aren’t aware of RT and their true purpose, no problem.

    Although I humbly request you tap out now and recuse yourself from topics of this nature as you are grossly uninformed and clearly out of your element. RT being a propaganda news outlet of the Rus gov is basic understanding of Rus politics.

    Its the reason why Jill Stein and Flynn get a side eye for being at the RT 10th anniversary celebration, seated at the same table as putin.
