Rand and his staff denied having played a role in stripping her credentials, so you are questioning Rand's honesty. And actually, Abby was quite reserved in her embrace of conspiracy positions, as demonstrated by her RT show of over 2 years, which mostly did not feature them. It's critics like the above who are wound up with the past (such as her years-old guerrilla confrontation with Rand), and with holding knee-jerk derisive attitudes toward conspiracy, ignoring the evidence that has made exposing covert activity more popular in recent years. RT has overall been a breath of fresh air in addressing issues without the establishment corporate liberal or conservative agendas of the US propaganda machine.
Ok, if he has denied it, then i'll buy it as I have no knowledge about what actually happened. Initially I was very positive to Russia Today for the same reasons as you mention. But, they do not hold themselves (Russia) to the same standards as they do of other world events. It's this whole process of digging up stories about your neighbors illegal burning of trash, while dumping chemical waste yourself in the river nearby. This coupled with Bill O'Reilly on steroids fearmongering in domestic media - just even more smartly done - is turning Russians away from belief in democracy and into accepting Putin's next 30 years as president, with big-corrupt-oligarchy/government rule with free reign to the secret services, and minimal input from any regular people. It's not like I mind that you use RT as a news source or anything, I sometimes do that as well. Just keep what I mentioned in mind.
