I've stated it before, just don't remember if to you--it's amusing: if someone observes that Russia Today is state-owned and controlled, the "excuse" comes back, "but what about MSNBC?"

But if someone observes that MSNBC parrots the party line, you never see anyone excusing it by exclaiming, "but what about Russia Today?"

I really don’t care about MSNBC or RIA Novosti parroting a party line - what I called out was a FReeper parroting the Russian Information Agency (which is what ‘RIA’ stands for).
