Just remember that RT is a state-run network:

"RT, previously known as Russia Today, is a global multilingual television news network based in the Russian Federation run by the state-owned[1] state-run[2] RIA Novosti."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RT_(TV_network)

That said, running something like "Adam vs. The Man" isn't exactly what you'd expect to find on Russia's state television.  I'm not one to go for conspiracy theories, but I have to imagine whoever's controling the network's tone hopes that promoting libertarian messages on RT will help end American imperialism.  I doubt this is for humanitarian reasons though, it's probably more about decreasing the US's power in Russia's sphere of influence.

^Bingo.  They just incidentially happen to be on the right track with regards to some pieces that they do.

i agree...i assume its a russia intelligence run news channel...like something the CIA would do....but so far, they are puttin on great libertarian stuff.

i assume they want to hurt the american government by this....and I'm all for that.  most americans want to hurt the american government's power hold.

Not really, the stuff CIA puts out is utter crap. See a sample: American-government propaganda aimed at Russians & co.
