Freedom of the press crack down by Trump DOJ



Bullshit and Lies

  • Lies and Bullshit pour out of Washington and its media whore allies hourly to keep the American Sheeple frightened and docile. 
  • But now we see Trump's DOJ trying to crack down on the Russian media that they cannot control.  Maybe someone should read Jeff Sessions the 1st Amendment thing about freedom of the press. It is NOT freedom for the press you like, but freedom for all press outlets traditional and Internet.


(Yahoo News)  -  RT, the Russian government television network, disclosed Monday that one of its U.S. affiliates has been notified by the Justice Department that it must register as a foreign agent that is disseminating propaganda in the United States.
The statement issued by RT’s editor in chief Margarita Simonyan in Moscow is the strongest sign yet the Justice Department may be moving to crack down on the operations of RT and another Russian news agency, Sputnik, by forcing them to register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act — a World War II-era law that requires foreign principals that are seeking to influence U.S. public opinion to disclose their full activities and sources of funding.
“The company that supplies all services for RT America channel, including TV production and operations, in the U.S., has received a letter from the U.S. Department of Justice, claiming that the company is obligated to register under FARA due to the work it does for RT,” Simonyan said in a statement that was posted on RT’s website.
RT did not respond to a request for comment from Yahoo News. A Justice Department spokesman declined comment. But the disclosure by RT came the same day Yahoo News reported that the FBI has obtained thousands of internal Sputnik emails as part of an investigation into whether that news agency, which is technically separate from RT, must also register under FARA.
But Simonyan, the RT editor who formerly served on Russian President Vladimir Putin’s campaign staff, strongly hinted that any Justice Department actions could have repercussions for the U.S. news organizations that operate in Moscow.
“I wonder how U.S. media outlets, which have no problems while working in Moscow, and that are not required to register as foreign agents, will treat this initiative,” she said. She also blasted the Justice Department’s action as part of a “war” against freedom of the press and journalists. “Those who invented [freedom of speech] have buried it,” she said.

Who would believe the shit in the Washington Post and NY Times?

It is all propaganda.

But RT has carried many stories that are very interesting and those stories can easily be checked on Google.

WP and NYT are somekind biased on Dems , but they are not State sponsor Propaganda stooges.As RT is.
RT is a ruse from the FSB , and carried Putin agenda .
To carry Russia again on top , shum NATO from eastern borders whatever possible , put Ucrania on turmoil to "bring her into the fold " , weeken USA resolve , and EU unity .And helping radical islam bring mayhew in the west , or by helping state sponsor islamic invasion on europe by worthless migrants that are shum from those medieval monarchies run by idle rich robe sheiks bathing on oil , fascists zelots from Iran , and sleeze double tongue talking so call west allies pakistani autorities.
And helping imperialist money driven China , conquer the resources from the rest of the world , less Russia , weeken the USA , playing neutral with china on north korea.
RT are no more or less than a ruse , or a web to "catch" points to Russia . As Flynn .
Russia still got that old perception that shes at war with the americans , fear "wuss" EU might , and forget those medieval dangers that came from a war torn dictators land as Syria , or Yemen .
Shes got more fear from west roman empire heirs , as she is the east roman one ... than all those barbariam at borders ... as old byzantium did sometimes .
So now Russia don`t take nothing for granted . She use former western commies ,old dictators allies around the world , pay right wing parties around the world to put societies apart , and even state sponsor doping to " bring " old glory victors in the sportsfield .
Hope you found that pretty crystal clear .
