I haven't been subbed to that part of their channel in awhile so maybe they've changed. They were definitely getting a ton negative feedback for it, so maybe they toned it down.

Originally posted by seanD View PostAre you talking about their main channel or their sub channel? They have quite a few sub channels. Main channel definitely caters to the alt-conservative base (the Ron/Rand Paul types) who are against military and police state type issues.
They do give an unusual amount of space to Ron Paul, for whatever reason. Not so much Rand (that I could see).
But it is odd that the same government is controlling the agency and it has conflicting viewpoints, depending on the specific outlet.

A Kansas City area radio station can broadcast Russian state-owned media programming, the type that U.S. intelligence called a “propaganda machine,” for six hours a day through a lease agreement struck by a local radio operator.
The lease agreement lets RM Broadcasting air its programming from 6 to 9 a.m. and 6 to 9 p.m. seven days a week. KCXL’s website, which says that it’s the radio station that will “tell you the things that the liberal media wont (sic) tell you,” lists Radio Sputnik in its morning programming.
A 2017 report by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence that evaluated Russian efforts to influence the 2016 election described Sputnik as “another government-funded outlet producing pro-Kremlin radio and online content in a variety of languages for international audiences.”
Everyone cool with this? Do you think they're going to be pro-Trump or pro-[eventual nominee]?Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return.

It's kinda like my cable provider. There is a Chinese news station done in English way up "the dial" that is pretty obviously getting their instructions from Beijing.
I'm always still in trouble again
