An alternate view

Do the alternative media channels which David Cameron decried as distorting the truth have anything to say about the events in the Ukraine, events on the streets of American and European cities, events in which segments of the population are rising up against the governments in South America ?
The business of Information Dissemination, of convincing populations of the "truth", is a high tech' game. Millions are spent in assembling and manipulating the news to support a political agenda, Gobbles did it, Churchill did it and now everyone is at it.
RT the Russian service decried by the West is for many as shiny and as convincing as CCN or the BBC. It has its its shapely presenters and fact primed analysts, it has its links to correspondents around the world and it spends a great deal of time discussing with knowledgeable people in Washington and London. Many of these people are senior members of various universities based in the West who are corralled to present a pro Moscow line.
The question has to be asked, is this opinion based  on the facts as they see them or, are they part of a political agenda, acting as placement men and women in our universities to support the anti Western line.
Of course the Universities were always the breeding ground for dissent towards the Establishment, particularly when
they formulated their hatred of the Capitalist System and turned to Communism by acting as spies in the 50s. 
The problem in the West is our disenchantment with our politicians and our belief that they lie as part of a political game from which we are excluded.
The power of global capitalism and the inability of national governments to effect any bulwark against this power makes us feel helpless and we accept the view that our politicians are men of straw and their utterances meaningless.
