This got pretty prominent coverage on the WSJ front page today, with hundreds of comments, though I had a hard time relocating the article on their site. I'm sure the headline did Trump no favors:

Donald Trump, on Russian TV Network, Criticizes U.S. Foreign Policy

WASHINGTON—Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump criticized more than a decade of U.S. foreign policy and cast doubt on assertions that the Kremlin is attempting to meddle in the U.S. elections during a 10-minute interview broadcast on a television network controlled by the Russian government.

Mr. Trump’s interview, broadcast Thursday evening on RT America, came a day after the GOP candidate praised Russian President Vladimir Putin during a national TV appearance. His comments drew fire from other Republicans, who have been sharply critical of Russia’s behavior in the Middle East and with neighboring countries.

The RT America interview was conducted by the veteran radio and TV personality Larry King. Mr. King prefaced the interview by saying he and Mr. Trump “go back well over 30 years, I consider him a good friend.” Though Mr. King was shown live on the RT America television screen, Mr. Trump had telephoned into the program.

They're doing a pretty awful job considering that all the puppet strings are now visible.

When the CIA was doing this it was probably not that subtle either.

conservatives don't seem to care too much since they are going after a democrat and the media is often too scared to call anybody out for fear of looking biased. they probably don't even care if it looks obvious at this point.

Sorta. A TV show he does on his own on-demand network is also licensed to a subsidiary of RT.

Totally, but the forum needs its Two Minutes Hate regarding Trump from somewhere.

The Ed Schultz heel turn here, dumb as the guy always has been, is the real shocker.

November can't come soon enough. Goodness people lets make sure he doesn't step foot in the white house, or the lawn for that matter. Fucking joke and a national embarrassment.

RT's youtube channel is pretty dope to be honest.

I have watched it in the past and kind of liked it but had no idea it was a Kremlin-funded YouTube channel lol

The only good thing about RT is Ruptly (live) coverage.

They are crazy opportunists which is funny, have something happen that is pro-Russian interests and they will show up in the weirdest places and smallest towns to cover it.

That does have it's benefit if you have a small scale demonstration for a legit cause, at least you'll have some media coverage that way.

Huh? Since when is Larry King on RT.

This is just confusing.

Edit:
woah

It's true

.

Ora TV released a statement clarifying that the content is licensed to RT America, but produced independently from the network.

 

[wumster3000]

Hillary would be death in the water if she had done everything this dope has done. Yet and still, he's getting votes.

 

[sazzy]

The Republican nominee for President is bashing the US President, an ex US President, the Democratic nominee for President and US media in an interview broadcast on a Russian state-funded propaganda network.

Wow.

 

[Mr. Giggles]

Holy shit man. Larry king is still alive!!

Wonder what his secret is...

 

[Ekai]

Could he anymore obviously be a puppet candidate for Putin? Seriously. It's amazing how dumb the guy is to do a thing like this and reveal his cards.

Well shit trump didn't do his homework this time huh? That's okay no one expects him to.

Shem935, what can you tell me about your use of a private e-mail account? Is something going on here?

 

[Ekai]

double post

 

[Elchele]

What's wrong with giving an interview to RT? Seriously. Grow up

 

[marrec]

Oh my god you are right. It is amazing.

The best part of this thread.

"I knew Gene Autry personally, he was my Godfather"

 

[Dude Abides]

This time Putin told Trump that if he told Larry his breath was bad Trump wouldn't live to see November.
