Topic	Noam Chomsky, on liberals not seeing US as a "leading terrorist state"
scar the 1 01/25/21 6:26:58 AM #21:	ssjevot posted... RT spent so long promoting Trump and his supporters wild delusions. I would say it's equivalent to him going on FOX News. I realize RT had also promoted the US Green Party as well, but that was clearly also in support of Trump, and the end goal of damaging America. I like a lot of what Chomsky has to say, but publishing in RT will alienate his target audience (American "liberals" hate Russia now thanks to Trump), and is knowingly supporting a bad actor. Chomsky is what, 90+ years old? I doubt he has a deliberate plan of communication at this point. Heck, he will reply to literally anyone who emails him. Try it and see. I bet he would reply in good faith if you asked him about why he agreed to an interview with RT. I might even ask him myself, because I'm curious. My point here is that I think it's unlikely that he's deliberately going out and selling an interview to some specific news agency. Likely the RT reporter contacted him and he replied. I very much doubt he's actively pushing an agenda at this point of his life, rather than just hanging out, being retired and responding when people ask him stuff. --- Stop being so aggressively argumentative for no reason. - UnfairRepresent <cite>scar the 1 posted [p:949893838] in Noam Choms...
