I think its the case that Russians would like to sow discord in the American political system. And they seem to realize the best way to do it is to give platforms to leftwingers that tell the truth...

See, if you hire a bunch of Glen Beck and Alex Jones types -- people just rightfully assume their fans are nuts and believe stupid conspiracies and are mostly irrelevant.

But leftwingers pointing out corruption and problems with the capitalist system have some actual teeth. Even if the delivery is dramatized and they offer no solutions to all the problems they bring up.

Has Abby Martin ever claimed Trump smells like sulfur and might be a demon? Or talk about extra-terrestrials? Or say the illuminati or stone masons are behind everything?

Anything that comes close to that?

She might go too far -- I'm not an Abby Martin expert. But claiming America is an immoral empire isn't anything in the ballpark of Alex Jones.

I'm big on Abby Martin. Have seen most of her career along with the Russia Today contract.

I saw nothing that approached conspiracy theory.

Socialism/communism works though right?
