Thread: New financial show on Russia Today is very libertarian friendly

  1. #1

    Default New financial show on Russia Today is very libertarian friendly

    The show Capital Account started airing last week and pretty much every episode they give the libertarian view on a certain topic.
    Very first guest was Michael Pento saying end the Fed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrtyvYNx8Pw
    Had Lew Rockwell (who doesn't appear on TV a lot) talking about inflation & MIC: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szfQlyWa1vM
    and today Jim Grant was exposing the Fed and the host had the good sense to ask about how interest rates were set before the Fed, and the host played a quick clip of Ron Paul, and copied one of Ron Paul's talking points that money is one half of every transaction. Check it out - here's today's full show w/ Jim Grant:


    This is a very, very strong start for the show. I'm not sure the host herself is libertarian but she gives us major respect

    RT's American tv channel has always been quite libertarian, at th very least very anti-Fed. They used to interview Ron Paul all the time and they've always had very fair coverage on the issues that are important to us.

    English RT is shown on America depending on your cable or satellite provider. I don't get the 24 hour RT with my ghetto cable subscription, but they do rebroadcast some RT shows on public broadcast channels (and also big time US outlets such as CBS sometimes use RT footage).

    It's true that RT is open to libertarian views, but this show in particular seemed to me very libertarian on a daily basis instead of just occasional coverage, so that's why I'm bringing it up here (host is cute too!)

    I don't remember who said it, maybe it was somebody on this forum, but someone described the anchors of RTAmerica this way:
    They're all Democratic Socialists, but they're extremley tolerant of other viewpoints.
    Look at the way they've covered OWS, and you'll see this is true. That's not to say RT isn't good, they're terrific, but at the end of the day, they still have an agenda.

    And they cancelled Adam vs The Man

    Sounds like my kind of financial show!

    Yes but they are also huge hypocrites. The Kremlin would never allow anything like what the English-version Russia Today puts out to air inside their own country.
