If you think the BBC is anything like RT you ought to read about the BBCs reporting during the Falklands War.

Britain's transition to becoming more like a British RT happened post Iraq/David Kelly/Hutton Inquiry and even then it happened fairly slowly - it took time to pension off all the good journalists who asked the difficult questions.

The BBC under Greg Dyke and Gavyn Davies was fiercely independent and objective though, until they were unceremoniously let go for not towing the party line on Iraq's WMDs.

People are stupid, so you should add links verifying your claims.

Also, noteworthy, is that most people can not remember, or talk about, the fact that certain nations lie to us so they can go to war. They also can't think about the whole actual reasons why what's happening is happening.

Always remember that 99% of all people only parrot what the mass media present to them, with no critical/analytical thought applied whatsoever.
