    RUSSIA TODAY

     

    It is obvious that Propaganda network Russia Today works for Kremlin's interests.

     

    William Dunbar, a correspondent for the English-language international TV channel Russia Today, has left the station after his live reports from Georgia were dropped by the station after one in which he mentioned Russian bombing. He said: I felt that I had no choice but to resign. He said that he was reporting the facts, but that the real facts of the matter didnt conform to what they were trying to report, and therefore they wouldnt let me report it.

     

    The journalists at Russia Today should be ashamed of their complicity in the rise of the neo-Soviet state, and Russians should consider them more dangerous to Russias future than any foreign enemy.

     

    The Russian government has already poured more than $100 million into Russia Today, prompting charges that Kremlin sponsorship affects its coverage. Andrei N. Illarionov, a former adviser to Mr. Putin and now one of his critics, last year called the channel Russias best propaganda machine for the outside world.
