“Their source is Russia Today. Nothing to see here, folks, move along.”

How dumb is that?? Got another English language source you might approve of, that has nearly live coverage of events in Donetsk? If you do, I’ll be glad to review it. If not, please stay off the thread.

The temptation to respond to this thread with "Donetsk -- Don't tell" is nearly overwhelming.

Good thing I got it under control, huh?

Like I said earlier - RT was the first to report on a U.S. aircraft carrier heading to station itself off the coast of Syria last year, when Odumbo was considering bombing Syria.

Reason.com (awesome source for info) was the second, then others followed - though sheepishly.

RT - like MSDNC, SEE BS, Washington Compost, New York Slimes, etc, must all be verified.

For a permanent Putinista propagandist, you’re awfully sensitive when people laugh at your world according to RT posts.

Every time you attempt to disseminate Russian propaganda - I will try to be there to comment - tough luck.
RT is the most notorious of all Putin tools, English doesn’t make it true.

As you must know, Russia Today is owned by the Russian government. You appear to claim it is the only English language source of live coverage of events in Donetsk, and therefore, if we don’t accept its coverage as truthful, we should not be posting on this message board. Have I understood you correctly?

By the way, a non-government owned useful source of news in English about events in Ukraine is the Kyivpost. I realize that some will argue that it is not a legitimate news source because it is not rabidly pro-Putin, but in fact it is reasonably even handed in its treatment of events.
