One of my receivers lingered on Russia Today on 97ºW and I noticed The Alyona Show. This talk/commentary program was hosted by an attractive woman Alyona Minkovski who sounded like an american.
This show was on at 19:00 MST (GMT-7)
(add two hours for Eastern time
add one hour for Central time
Subtract one hour for Pacific time) etc...
What was notable to me about this program is how it, (ostensibly from Washington DC) looked like a domestic United States commentary program. While discussing current USA current events, the presenter repeatedly referred to "us" and "we" in the context of being an american.
However, this programming is produced by a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russia_Today"][U]news agency[/ owned by the government of Russia.

Half an hour of euronews is on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MHz_Worldview"][U]MHZWorldview[/, 97º W Ku see the schedule. France24 and SouthAfrican SABC news is there as well.
Many of RT reporters are indeed Americans - children of Russian immigrants, working in the channel's Washington Bureau. RT is entirely budgeted by RU Government. They also employ Brits and some French staff in Moscow Bureau, and mother tonque speakers from some other countries. But the line of commentary is closely controlled by editorial staff and Government propaganda department very same way like the line of CNN commentary is controlled at all times via a chain of their editorial command that surprisingly goes straight to...Washington, where... Alyona works for RT in its local bureau.It looks like a closed circuit TV to the public. And CNN budget goes along the same lines as RT's, only the ways to deliver that "money train" vary a bit based on locally accepted practices.
Sounds like you are implying CNN is controlled by the US government. Whether you agree with CNN's coverage or not, there is quite a leap to make that conclusion. I know that some Europeans object to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNN_International"][U]CNN International[/ regarding a US centric bias claim.
Regarding RT, there is no question. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RIA_Novosti"][U]RIA Novosti[/, parent of RT and Pravda.ru is owned by the Russian government. Sort of like Voice of America is to the USA.
Here's a schedule of Alyona Show programming...
Here's an old saying: "Those who pay the money - order the music". The ways to "pay the money" vary... Its a lot more complicated and sophisticated world out there than most people can ever imaging. 
Do you know any solid US News Outlet out there, which is not "affiliated" or "associated" with some power forces, demanding one way or another to continuously push their own agenda to the masses? Cheers, if you do.

I had it backwards, I think
:from Wikipedia,
"Under United States law (Section 501 of the Smith-Mundt Act of 1948), the Voice of America is forbidden to broadcast directly to American citizens. The intent of the legislation is to protect the American public from propaganda actions by its own government.[30]

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Can we expect to see a new coach if we say "pretty please?"

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed
Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner
The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.
Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.
