It's the same thing with the Russia hysteria in general, Russia's a second rate power that can barely hold down its own region and the US establishment is pretending like it's a major threat to world order. But RT might actually be a threat to the MSM and the political class. The entire establishment edifice is built on pure bullshit and the power elites know it, when the dominant culture doesn't have a solid intellectual or ethical leg to stand on it's vulnerable to any critical voice no matter how small or marginalized.
