RT America, the Russian state-funded media outlet, is permanently shutting down as tensions rise between the U.S. and Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.
An employee for RT America told Fox News that she and approximately 120 other staffers, who were described as Americans, were informed in a meeting on Thursday that operations were shutting down at the network's Washington D.C. headquarters as well as the New York, Los Angeles and Miami bureaus. The staffer said employees were given severance packages.
This comes as DirecTV announced it was removing RT America from its programming, saying "In line with our previous agreement with RT America, we are accelerating this year's contract expiration timeline and will no longer offer their programming effective immediately," according to Axios. Spotify has also removed RT-linked podcasts from its platform.

Your jobs have been liquidated.
Come home to WABC!
Good thing they are getting rid of RT I could have committed a ThoughtCrime by listening to them.
Not that it matters to the Globalists, but RT runs almost as many anti-Russia/Putin articles as pro-Russia.

I have occasionally listened Radio Sputnik, 105.5 here in the DC area.
LOL!
Interesting; Malzberg is a guest on one of the RT shows.
One less viewpoint to hear. It’s getting awful uni-media out there.

As Greg Kelly was saying today RT is more factual than most of the mass media channels out there. RT is just a platform, the content comes from the US.
Good, now we won’t have all these easily manipulated parrots spewing out their nonsense.
I guess that means that a couple FReepers have lost their jobs.
You’re a regular comedian.
“You’re a regular comedian.”
You’ve seen their posts.
Propaganda to be sure. But so is CNN. In the U.S. we have no idea of the "truth." Only narratives. Worship the clown Prez Velensky, and defend the great "democracy" of Ukraine. Or you are a traitor. Or something. Reality is somewhat more complex.
Remove ChiCom channels too.
The government only wants their own propaganda over the airwaves not Russians.
Radio Sputnik International is still streaming this evening.
