RT, also known as Russia Today, is a government-funded autonomous, non-profit[SUP][1][/SUP] global multilingual television news network based in Russia.

RT news has always given a positive slant to the Ron Paul / Liberty Movement.

Not sure what this means. It just brings up a "network solutions" page for domain registration.

The Russians didn't pay their bill?
Technical Error?
US Censoring?
Local ISP Censoring?

works for me, maybe your ISP has it on a filter and it redirects you to their stand-in page?

Interesting.

I just proxied through hidemyass.com via UK server. Amsterdam server still gives me the domain page.

I can see RT.com now via UK proxy.

...but only via proxy.


THIS LENDS CREDENCE TO US CENSORSHIP

Nope. Censored.

Those of you w/ access what are the top stories? Hidemyass is kind of slow to browse through.

 

[Keith and stuff]
