[Peace-discuss] Don't let the corporate-friendly outlets tell you what to watch/hear/read

Some of it is worth your time. The Gray Zone's Aaron Mate and Anya Parampil have been 
interviewed on Tucker Carlson's show (multiple times), for instance. Carlson has good 
things to say on war issues which, one could convincingly argue, are among the most 
important things one can comment on.

I'd be wary of letting the state propagandists at corporate-friendly outlets tell us 
which media to dismiss. RT, for instance, is dismissed as "Russian propaganda" by 
those who side with Hillary Clinton's endless pursuit of an excuse for losing to 
another political novice[1]. But RT often covers views you won't hear on 
corporate-friendly media. For example, RT has had serious and principled coverage of 
Julian Assange for a while including the only recorded coverage of Assange's forced 
eviction from the Ecuadorian embassy (the other networks gave up and left even though 
WikiLeaks told us all when to keep an eye on the embassy's doors). It was very 
shameful that the corporate-friendly media had to license footage from RUPTLY, RT's 
dead-roll camera outlet. Now RT has a Julian Assange documentary 
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=630X89TbI74) that is worth watching.


[1] I doubt Obama was very well known even to Illinois residents until he got a boost 
from the ugly Ryan divorce when salacious details came out which contributed to Ryan 
dropping out of that 2004 U.S. Senate race against Obama.
