'Russia Today goes beyond objective journalism,' says John McDonnell

The shadow chancellor says Labour MPs should no longer appear on RT, formerly known as Russia Today. Speaking on the BBC's Andrew Marr Show, he said that in the past Labour had tried to treat the Kremlin-funded channel like other broadcasters, but it had crossed a line and now 'we have to step back'.

Oh the irony of bringing this up on the Biased Broadcasting Corporation.

Lol has he watched the BBC ??
No sign of objectivity their that is for sure.

[blazedandconfused]

As opposed to what other state media outlet?

''Russia Today goes beyond objective journalism, ' says John McDonnell'? Perhaps O'Donnell will tell us of even one UK MSM that is objective?
I and many others find that RT are far more believable and truthful about issues like the Salisbury Skripal's affair than our MSM.
HMG has acted illegally and abominably in the way they have handled this issue, and appear to be holding the Skripals as incommunicado prisoners.

Stop trying to shut down outside voices. That's the danger. Information for intelligent judgments is a must.
