(Partly?) Ban RussiaToday (RT) as a source in Sensationalist Headlines - General

[QUOTE=MercZ;42173154]I'd like to see RT not be linked too, but then I'd also say that daily mail, the sun, or other tabloids shouldn't be linked either. I voted yes but looking back on it, it wouldn't be a good precedent. I think people just should be aware that if they are basing a story off RT or for proof, then you should be prepared to be called out for it. RT used to be interesting to me a few years ago but they really seem to be going into conspiracy waters in the past two years.[/QUOTE] you didn't explain why banning all of those websites would be a bad thing

Wtf, Russia today is one of the realest news online I've have seen. Only reason I can find for not liking it must be if you are an ignorant 'murican or something (as RT don't play along with US propaganda and lies). It's a fair news source compared to soooo many others. And they are all biased, but RT has shown little sign of bias when I have checked. And to ban it as a headline source would be sensorship, which is for lamers and retards.

Yes, I agree, but only on the condition that Fox News is completely banned as well.

[QUOTE=Explosions;42192562][url]http://rt.com/usa/911-attack-job/[/url][/QUOTE] That's an opinion piece. Note the first person usage.

Well I have to say that I'm glad there was so much discussion on the topic and that opinions could really get out there. I'm glad I made this thread. :)

"[/QUOTE] I did notice it was under the US section, but it still uses first person, and I have yet to see them do it on any of the articles I've read from them. Also, I don't think there's anything that prohibits editorials from being "investigative reports"
