So what's your claim here? That what's in that article is false?RealBlackStuff wrote: ↑Mon Jul 23, 2018 9:26 amThat rt.com is a Putain-controlled Russian "fake news" website.
I thought you were smarter than that...
I disagree. There are some obvious good sources of information and some obvious bad ones – and in between both extremes is a lot of grey area. RT is an example for a bad source of information that takes news with a kernel of truth and then twists and spins it to create propaganda.
And why it is so successful?
That's what all we do but again, we have different opinion on what are the bad (or rather untrustworthy) ones
I, for one, enjoyed RT until it got pulled from the list of channels available on Roku. While they were heavily rooting for Sanders in the 2016 election, one could hear a lot of things - actual news - that the other media outlets ignored. Here in the States they had some pretty serious names on their program as well. with Larry King and late Ed Schultz having their own shows...Galeb_G2 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 23, 2018 5:58 amSure, RT is definitely propaganda, that's written to show Russia's opinion on what's happening... but the thing is that it isn't any more biased than, let's say, the BBC, CNN, MSNBC, France 24 or anything, news outlets have always been political weapons used by whoever's paying, be it a state or a company. I'm not even being critical, it would be like being critical of rain when saying it's wet ; it's just why media exists.
i must say we didn't let them in. this was fostered from way up. try noticing how hard you're being effed by the upper echelons/decision makers or organizing yourselves while working fulltime. it's impossible. and that's by design. you think people had a say in this?
So, the cross, which is "a symbol of love and sacrifice", merely by its presence, becomes a symbol of "racism and intolerance". What is the manifestation of racism and intolerance? The presence of the cross itself.“A few days ago they placed at Apeli of Mytilene a large cross, in order to prevent other people (refugees and migrants) from coming to swim. This act is illegal, unsightly (reminiscent of a grave) but mostly offensive to the symbol of Christianity, a symbol of love and sacrifice, not racism and intolerance.”
Apparently beta ("b" in English) is pronunced with the English sound of "v" so however you spell it in non-Greek characters, it is pronounced as "lesvos". I only know this because my aunt lived in Athens for 35 years and taught English to Greek students. So not really a nepharious reason for multiple spellings. Maybe there is a Greek on board who knows better than I.RealBlackStuff wrote: ↑Thu Oct 11, 2018 7:13 amAlso notice the island's name: Lesvos with a v.
Not too long ago, and for centuries, if not millennia, it was called: Lesbos with a b.
But I guess that was "too insulting to women..."
