1. What a poor excuse for journalism. Realize it his opinion, no more, no less.

Yet, RT increasingly looks like the video version of any number of tabloid print rags.

My two cents, fwiw. :hi:

2. You're exactly right. It's a mix of tabloid trash, unsourced pseudoscience, and rumor mongering.

The only things separating it from full-on kookdom are production values and the fact that they haven't talked about Bigfoot yet.

4. You guys are right, your ad hominems are so much more grown up and rigorous

I mean you could have taken the low road and point out at the recent performance of the US dollar in the exchange market in the past, 1, 5 or 10 years as a counter argument to the supposed false thesis of this piece. Alas...

5. Sorry for pointing out that RT makes shit up and pretends that it's news.

They've been doing that a lot. Fukushima, Bin Laden, the dollar...

7. I was kidding when I said an ad hominem was a perfectly reasonable argument

LOL

6. I should have been clearer. My point is the shallow, drive by style of journalism here.

So my beef is probably more about RT overall. They host a lot of this kind of "reporting".

For someone unfamiliar with the ins and outs of money markets and currency exchanges, which includes me, some substance would be good. This just looks cartoonish to me and offers little useful info. :hi:

3. I don't get it--dollar AND gold both plunging?

what a world
