Yes, and I'm very disappointed. Thom Hartmann is there. No reason given, I'll bet. Creepy.

I took your word for it; but it's up and running on YT. Must be a regional or ISP problem?

That's even more strange. They blocked the parent company but not the American version.

Nothing changed, it's all still there. Check your browser, or something.

I don't recall if it was the RT channel or just other users using their footage.

I don't know what channel that was that you linked to, but it wasn't Russia Today.

Take a look at the "feature channels" section to the right on your link - you'll see that "RT" with 274k subscribers is grayed out.
Can't wait to find out what the offending video that led to this is.

too much actual news than MSM propaganda.
