Actor William Shatner produced 70 episodes of a show for production company Ora TV, which then sold it to RT America. But in recent interviews, he expressed support for the Ukrainian people and suggested he will not do business with the network beyond his contractual agreement.that, as far as he knows, all Ora TV productions for RT America have been halted. “I await with apprehension what will transpire but my total sympathy is with Ukraine,” he said.

While RT America’s audience in the United States is hard to quantify, and was probably modest, the network received significant distribution via the amplification of social media posts by conservative media companies.“The purpose of RT is for Russia to fight against the West and democratic values on the cheap,” said Robert Orttung, a professor of international relations at George Washington University who has researched the company.

As my 6th grade science teacher said (sarcastically), 'Tears in my ears, raining on my brain.'

In wartime any/all media is at risk of being painted as 'propaganda'. RT is seen by the West as Putin's propaganda arm whereas Russians will be told Western media is spreading propaganda. If 'Democracy dies in darkness' the answer remains the same in war as in peace: sunshine.

Most of the journalists in rt where Americans.. But now Americans will only get western approved propaganda because nothing says freedom and democracy more than a government deciding what you are allowed to watch...
