That RT, along with PressTV and Al-Jazeera, have come to be "beacons of truth" for a subset of Western readers is a most regrettable side effect of the corporate regime that governs "main stream media" in the West. Too wrongs do not make a right.

Here is the actual DHS report mentioned (but not cited -- that would be journalism, shudders RT) : https://www.dhs.gov/xlibrary/assets/privacy/privacy_privcomr...

As you will note, should you care to read it, the above is actually about placing constraints on the data mining operations of DHS.

We Americans certainly have valid reasons to be quite concerned regarding the surveillance society that is now being overtly foisted on our civil society.

But it is /of utmost importance/ of us to be vigilant and careful readers and resist efforts by highly interested global actors to shape and direct the narrative and political discourse of the thinking Americans.
