Anyone who would go on RT for any reason, paid or unpaid, is highly suspect in my book.

You have a lot of suspects
RT is the 3d most popular media In the UK
Their news reporting on Syria..was far more honest and superior to anything coming out from the U.S. or Europe and they are more credible on foreign policy than the NYT or WashPosr

Why? It's no worse than going on CNN or MSNBC really. They're just another network, with an office in D.C. and they broadcast on Dish TV and they have a valid FCC license to broadcast over air (digital). People like Larry King and Ed Shultz have shows on RT, and they have all sorts of guests like all the networks do.

Besides... are we at war with Russia? Why does NASA pay Russia for rides to the space station? How are US companies allowed to do business there if we're at war with them?

The list of US companies doing business there is long... McDonalds, Pepsi, and many others.

Sure, we're wary of Putin... just like we have cautious relationships with other countries like China, Saudi Arabia, and others.

Don't buy into the liberal hysteria that says "OMG!!!! The only way Hillary could have possibly lost is because the Russians must have hacked the election for evil Trump!!!!"

The whole thing is total nonsense.
