Makes sense to me; I've seen how it happens.

  1. Recognize the US govt's imperialim

  2. Notice that US mainstream media generally downplays US imperialism

  3. Discover that RT gleefully covers and condemns US imperialism

  4. Conclude that mainstream news are corporate war apologists, while RT "tells it like it is"

  5. Walk around telling people that Ukraine is full of Nazis trying to genocide Russian-speaking Ukrainians, and Putin is just trying to stop the purge.
