Any group that identifies itself as nonpartisan is lying and left-wing.
Spokesman for the nonpartisan group, Jayson Blair, announced that the CEO, Janet Cooke, was hiring former Minister of Information, Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf to continue the investigation.
Yes we should believe an anonomous group of swamp crawlers, over identifiable sources of information.
The quickest way to get people to stop reading RT is to create credible new organs in the U.S. But we know all of them [CNN, Slimes, ComPost] lie all the time.
