This is information war, Asia Times correspondent Pepe Escobar told RT, commenting on John Kerry’s attack against RT. If you have an alternative script like RT you are banned, because they are afraid, he added.
US Secretary of State John Kerry criticized RT for its coverage of the Ukraine crisis on Thursday, calling it a “propaganda bullhorn,” adding that Russia was behind the unrest in Ukraine without providing any evidence.
RT: Quite strong words from the US Secretary of State regarding this channel. Why do you think he's singled out RT when commenting on the Ukrainian crisis?
Pepe Escobar: Looks like RT is ruffling very important feathers in the US. So the strong words RT program – oh, network… maybe program - just like the Iraq war: “I'm a guest there and then I'm home.” This is the top US diplomat speaking. It's ghost-written of course, he did not write these words himself. He didn't even know what he was reading. Let me have some strong words as well. Let's talk about bullhorns. Let's talk about Fox News as a private US bullhorn for the most demented extreme right-wing factions in the US. Let's talk about BBC as a state-owned British bullhorn for MI5, the Foreign Office and 10 Downing Street. Let's talk about Al-Jazeera as a state-owned bullhorn for Qatari petro-dollar foreign policy. So, Mr. Secretary of State, I have a proposition for you. Maybe strong words [those are], I can use my soft side as well. Instead of bull-horns and RT program and whining like a kid, why don't you visit one of RT’s offices, like in Washington, DC, your town for instance, and then we can discuss geopolitics and American foreign policy among adults, among grown-ups and not among the whining children, groupies and cheerleaders? You may be surprised, you may even learn something.
