RT Reports Anti-Trump 'No Kings' Protests, Forgetting Its Own Imperial Master
RT's recent dispatch highlights 'Anti-Trump 'No Kings' protests sweeping US cities' (RT - Middle East), painting a picture of democratic fervor against a perceived tyrant. A noble sentiment, no doubt. Yet, this comes from a media outlet owned and operated by the Russian government, a state with its own peculiar arrangements regarding presidential term limits and dissent. The projection is almost
poetic. It appears RT is quick to spotlight foreign grievances against perceived imperial rulers, while conveniently overlooking the fact that Russian law, for example, allows President Vladimir Putin to remain in power potentially until 2036, a tenure that would make many a historical monarch blush. The 'kings' they rail against abroad seem less problematic when they're pulling the strings at
home. How's that for consistent anti-monarchical sentiment?
