You think that Reuters and the AP are politically biased, but any and I mean any news outlet in Russia isn't? I will fully admit that most news today is biased from one side or the other (and I hate it), but at least we have freedom of the press.
Freedom of the press belongs to those that own one. And who owns the very few corporate leaders that own all of our media. The simple fact that for the last two years, US media was on this side or that side proves my point. Funny how after the past year one side is suddenly licking boots of the new political power in this country. Even the cacklin' hens on the View are about to have the plug pulled.
All news is biased, but I prefer news controlled by those who tell us the bad, not hide it from us. I don't need "news" that simply copies and pastes what is spewed out of Washington. I personally find little US news on foreign media that is actual lies, it's simply hard truth. But some, and apparently those in your camp, can't handle the truth.
Do you work for Tenet Media and/or are you a Russian bot? Russian media gives you the truth? Surely you don't beleive that?

Did you just crawl out from under a rock? Have you ever watched those collections of videos that show a collage of 15 or 20 news anchors all reading from the same script, using the exact same words and phrases? Who do YOU think is writing the script? The news media is consolidated under just a few owners, all of which have an agenda.
You think that Reuters and the AP are politically biased, but any and I mean any news outlet in Russia isn't?
Nobody here is holding Russia out as a shining example of freedom and honesty, but demonizing the other side doesn't make us any better somehow. How long have you been captured by the "Russiagate" narrative and don't even realize it? Wake up.
You must still be under the rock, because you don't even understand what freedom of the press means. I have already said all media is biased (and I hate it). The fact that they have the ability to report biased news without repercussions from the government is proof we still have freedom of the press. I have yet to see anyone from Fox News executed because the current administration didn't like what they reported. Conversely, I don't remember anyone from MSNBC being executed during the previous administration. Try reporting something Putin doesn't like in Russia and see how long you last.
Actually, @derryb continually holds Russia up as an example of something to aspire too, and you keep defending him for it, which is weird.

I sincerely hope you understand how hypocritical you appear when you say you don't trust US reporting.
RT and AP write the same story. You don't trust the AP story, but you do the RT story. Hmmm..
As always you attempt to distract by changing the words of a fellow member. I trust it because it appeared in RT, not because it appeared in the AP.

I'll tell you what it doesn't mean. It doesn't mean that every news outlet has their local talking heads reading from the same script. That's not even news - it's just propaganda and many times just lies. Try to get away from the TV, it isn't helping you.

You don't think that we have politically-motivated executions of media reporters? Crawl out from under your rock and look around. Who do you think executed Andrew Breitbart? Seth Rich? Why did they keep Julian Assange in prison for over a decade and why did Pompeo want him murdered while Chelsea Manning was given a free pass? Is that "freedom of the press"? Why don't you question these things?
Back on topic, the BRICS continue to see more applications for membership. Why do you think this is happening? It isn't just Russia that wants out of the dollar. Do you have an explanation?

It doesn't take a genius to figure out that when a large group of countries decide to eschew buying US debt, that there will be a major impact upon the US bond market, the dollar as a world reserve currency, US inflation and gold prices.
Pointing out those realities does not equate to support for Putin, the BRICS or lack of love for our country.
At least try to have a realistic & meaningful discussion and there might be hope for you yet. Thanks!

You laud freedom of speech and laud this "leader". I'm not sure it's possible to be more hypocritical.

I have never held Russia up as a shining example. But I will now say that it's leader apparently does what he thinks is best for his country and its citizens. He has also shown great restraint, when he could easily end conflict in a day. I don't like his philosophy of what a government should be, but I respect his right to differ from my beliefs. My views don't need a defense, they speak for themselves. You can either agree or disagree until you no longer have the freedom to do so.
Listen Bud, I spent 33 years serving this once great country. I, unlike some here do not live in an "apple pie" cocoon, I live in the real world. You should put down the kool-aid and try it.
I'm not your Bud, pal and while this country has plenty of problems, it is still the greatest country in the world.
If you really believe Putin does what he thinks is best for his country and its citizens you are more delusional than I thought. Putin does what he believes is best for Putin and that is it, period.
I really can't believe several people on this board have no idea what freedom of the press actually means. Let me give you a clue, it has nothing to do with media bias. You guys need to go back to civics class. It appears the dumbing down of America is almost complete.
Propaganda is everywhere, all the time. Even here in the United States.
Not all propaganda is government-sponsored. A lot of it has corporate origins.
The difference is, government propaganda is for purposes of control.
Corporate propaganda is for profit.
It has become necessary to be extremely skeptical of everything that is reported.
The key is to consider the possible motivations for "spinning" the debate one way or the other.
Even this forum has its share of anonymous disinformation agents.

Less than a joke.
These countries are joining BRICS to become part of a system where dollars are not required to conduct international trade. You (and others here) should not be letting the emotion of politics control your thinking but should be asking yourself why they would want to do this. The answer does not bode well for the future of the US dollar. And this is why BRICs should be on your radar. I guarantee you it is on the big screen in the US Economic War Room.

None...the individual countries are buying gold and will once BRICs fades away.
Central banks (mostly BRICs) have increased their buying of gold because they want a safe alternative to dollars. Surely even you realize this central bank buying has driven the latest up leg in gold prices. When, and not if, BRICs develops a uniform "currency" (maybe it will involve gold) to trade with each other, central bank buying will decrease, driving the price of gold down.

I'm not your Bud, pal and while this country has plenty of problems, it is still the greatest country in the world.
If you really believe Putin does what he thinks is best for his country and its citizens you are more delusional than I thought. Putin does what he believes is best for Putin and that is it, period.

I really can't believe several people on this board have no idea what freedom of the press actually means. Let me give you a clue, it has nothing to do with media bias. You guys need to go back to civics class. It appears the dumbing down of America is almost complete.

Propaganda is everywhere, all the time. Even here in the United States.
Not all propaganda is government-sponsored. A lot of it has corporate origins.
The difference is, government propaganda is for purposes of control.
Corporate propaganda is for profit.
It has become necessary to be extremely skeptical of everything that is reported.
The key is to consider the possible motivations for "spinning" the debate one way or the other.
Even this forum has its share of anonymous disinformation agents.
I completely agree.

The future of gold is heavily dependent on the future of dollars.

PMs are not loyal to any flag or nation. They simply gets priced in different currencies and are minted by different governments. Sovereign coins tend to have more premium.

It's meangingless...nobody is putting their money where their mouths are.
I can form an organization and get 100% of the countries on Earth. These countries -- virtually all of them non-democracies -- are hoping to get free money from one of the richer countries. So they join.
Less than a joke.
None...the individual countries are buying gold and will once BRICs fades away.
I live near Brazilians. They want dollars. The real is collapsing.
China is a closed economy. There are capital controls. You can put your money in but can't get it out.
Chinese 10-year bonds are under 2% because the economy is imploding, Japanese-style.
These countries are joining BRICS to become part of a system where dollars are not required to conduct international trade. You (and others here) should not be letting the emotion of politics control your thinking but should be asking yourself why they would want to do this. The answer does not bode well for the future of the US dollar. And this is why BRICs should be on your radar. I guarantee you it is on the big screen in the US Economic War Room.

Central banks (mostly BRICs) have increased their buying of gold because they want a safe alternative to dollars. Surely even you realize this central bank buying has driven the latest up leg in gold prices. When, and not if, BRICs develops a uniform "currency" (maybe it will involve gold) to trade with each other, central bank buying will decrease, driving the price of gold down.

And when their trade involves other BRIC members, it will cease to be done with dollars.
I live near Mexicans. They want Modela. Budweiser is collapsing.

I live near Canada. They drink Moosehead and Kokanee. The Loonie dollar is worth only 70 cents and is at a 20-year low. Gold is very expensive there.

Contrary to popular belief, I still hold the US as the best country in the world. I just don't like the economic direction it is headed and simply share my warnings here. World history shows this is a path to economic ruin, not one to prosperity (got gold?).

I don't need to pay someone to tell me what i want to hear.
Knowledge is the enemy of fear
then you should stop listening to just yourself. Anyone providing reliable economic news expects to be paid for their service; it is their lively hood just as disagreeing with anything and everything is your lively hood.
Or just watch your local news over the free airwaves, and let them guide your investing. I believe you can even find Jim Cramer there.

Agree, but nothing is forever. The dollar and it is impact on gold price is my concern. If you're too busy celebrating our greatness, you will miss the thunder clouds on the horizon. Those aware have their umbrella gold.

Dollars? Check, Gold? Check. Waking up every morning feeling blessed, not only to live right here in this great nation but to have my umbrella for the just in case? Yes, I would recommend it to anyone and everyone. RGDS!

How did you learn to get gold, fortune cookie? No, like the rest of you do your research that others publish whether it be bad statics from the government or maybe just a combination of opinions from professionals that get paid for what they write.
