Amb. McFaul: "This kind of logic is dangerous. Don't do what's right, lest Kremlin do what is wrong".
Why RT isn't media, and should register under FARA.

Oh, I see. My point was that Putin will shut down BBC , or you, or anyone else in a heartbeat if he wants to, without provocation. https://twitter.com/maxseddon/status/907726952718635008 …

I know her excellent work. Im trying to understand your argument. Because they dont matter, they shouldn't be regulated? https://twitter.com/maxseddon/status/907726535163088896 …

Not following you. I of course never adopted their cynical view of press. https://twitter.com/maxseddon/status/907726295722811395 …

Fox is not owned/controlled by a (hostile) foreign government. https://twitter.com/Andrew_Ryvkin/status/907725497639030785 …
-
And lets be clear, no one is calling for RT to be removed from US. If Putin did that in response to BBC, thats COMPLETELY unjustified. https://twitter.com/maxseddon/status/907640870442291205 …
-
By this logic, we should never do anything to push back on Putin, or else he get mad and does something "consequential" (like go after BBC) https://twitter.com/maxseddon/status/907640870442291205 …

BBC is not. Governance structure gives independence. VOA mandate seems very different to me than BBC. (Deutsche Welle I dont know as well) https://twitter.com/RaySuarezNews/status/907696622867566592 …

Again, Why does Bob Dole have to register, but RT — representing interests of Russian govt — should not. If you can answer, Il stand down https://twitter.com/maxseddon/status/907710904225103872 …
-
BTW, Russian state regulates foreign media. Kicked Radio Liberty and VOA off of platforms. PNG'd reporters. Wouldn't let Buzzfeed come in. https://twitter.com/maxseddon/status/907710904225103872 …
-
What is the data that supports you hypothesis that RT is a "a very poorly perceived threat."? YouTube views? Reporting quality? https://twitter.com/maxseddon/status/907710904225103872 …
-
I argued that RT is an instrument of power for the Russian state. Am I wrong about that? https://twitter.com/maxseddon/status/907710682694549505 …
-
What is the argument for treating RT as "media". Make an argument. Dont just call those who disagree as "mudslingers." (not a high road!) https://twitter.com/maxseddon/status/907710682694549505 …

Is Trump TV "media"? Have a listen: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/trump-tv-donald-trump-quietly-10943897 … https://twitter.com/McFaul/status/907695158329614336 …

Who decides then? (Maybe we need an updated new FARA law, so done in a more democratic way.) https://twitter.com/samagreene/status/907684702206734342 …
-
You raise important points about them. Im no expert, but dont see why we shouldnt look at them too. https://twitter.com/samagreene/status/907684971678240769 …
-
Yes, I know that history. I consider RT to be working for a "hostile state." Help me understand why that assumption is wrong& Ill stand down https://twitter.com/dude313123123/status/907685244588974081 …
-
So Sam, same question, is RT "media"? On what basis do you make that judgement? (TASS used to be registered under FARA) https://twitter.com/samagreene/status/907685289392574464 …
-
So you consider RT "media"? That's the issue. I don't. (Or at least not yet but ready to change my mind if you make a compelling argument!) https://twitter.com/ARothWP/status/907665114756653056 …

I am NOT arguing for banning RT ! I just want Americans to now that it is controlled by Kremlin. Why is that such a big deal? More facts ! https://twitter.com/DTochinskiy/status/907663023485190145 …

Final thought. I dont consider this policy issue an easy one, but we have to address. Hoping for fresh ideas besides. Please post ! https://twitter.com/McFaul/status/907663169782345728 …

& I disagree about "grandstanding." Russian government meddled in our elections. To keep dismissing RT as unimportant s not right response https://twitter.com/maxseddon/status/907640870442291205 …
-
& we go down a slippery slope if we allow Kremlin to equate RT and BBC. if they ban BBC, then UK should respond. https://twitter.com/ARothWP/status/907639611559571456 …
-
Andrew, can you defend inaction without reference to Russian bullying response? If so, Id be more convinced. https://twitter.com/ARothWP/status/907639611559571456 …

Could say the same about Obama decision to respond to Russian interference. Led to 755 embassy officials losing jobs. So Obama was wrong? https://twitter.com/maxseddon/status/907640870442291205 …

But Max, this kind of logic is dangerous. Don't do what's right, lest Kremlin do what is wrong. https://twitter.com/maxseddon/status/907640870442291205 …

I dont understand the Russian, but the cartoons are intense ! https://twitter.com/a_boiso_003/status/907657177980194816 …

The facts clash with your opinion. https://twitter.com/MamaTGar66/status/907658598053961728 …
