The attack on RT is a milestone in the degeneration of the American
"official" media into PR agencies for the governing establishment and
its ideological imperatives. We’ve been
moving along this path for a while now, and it’s going to get worse. But
it cannot go on forever. While a majority of Americans probably are
still glued to the partisan outlets of “their” side of the political
divide, there is a growing sense across the spectrum that not only the
MSM but even partisan media like Fox News and MSNBC are untrustworthy.
