Russia Today: why western cynics lap up Putin’s TV poison

 Sam Charles Hamad: "Yeah, the problem is that Nick Cohen is basically the mirror image of the politics of 'Russia Today' - Mr Cohen is a proponent of what I like to call 'US uber alles internationalism' and westo-centrism, or at least he has those kinds of tendencies. Everything he says about 'RT' is correct, but it's a grave pity that it's somebody like him saying it, as people won't take the word of a Blairite neocon who supported the slaughter in Iraq the way any decent Putinist hack would support Russia's attack on Ukraine or Chechnya."
