I actually like RT the Russian English language telly channel.. long been fan ever since it started airing... pick up things u don't on western channels.. and its exposes of the world economic crisis make western channels often look stupid which don't really need too much help since they all too regularly make themselves look thick as a brick... even the best of them...and Alyona is cute:bigrin:... bright an all... my dad fancied her mum who was a Russian ice skater....bad daddy...but it's worth watching just for her;)... sorry, I digress...:)
RT for those who don't know it and have never viewed is kind of a Russian Fox mixed with some CNN but not so dim... supposedly independent it is paid for by the Russian state just like many other satellite telly channels... much more fun tho and defo has a very different perspective 'bout all sorts of things... like all telly stations tho and Newspapers, it has its agenda and so always a good thing to treat what it tells us with a healthy dose of scepticism, but as with the like's of Al Jazeera, simply because it's foreign doesn't mean we should dismiss entirely what it tells us,... ne ways, picked this up this morning and if its true then Homeland Security has been a lil bit bad... 2 put it politely. Haven't had time to dig deeper, but wherever there is unfair and sexist discrimination and nepotism it doesn't matter it should be exposed and dealt with and we shouldn't mind too much who exposes it..
How accurate RT's story is remains to be seen and do admit to surprise that a government department in any country which has such a macho image (abroad at least) can be guilty of discrimination against men.. but if it is so.. I'm wiling to bet that it is stamped on and dealt with and sorted a bloody sight more speedily than government departments guilty of discrimination against women.. if it's true it should be stamped on and quickly too... just as it should be when it's women copping it unfairly..:bigrin:
