Russia - Philosopher Slavoj Zizek explains why the West wants to ban RT broadcasts

Russia (bbabo.net), - "The West, in fact, demonstrates its fear of the possible influence of RT and even its confidence in the strength of RT," commented on the desire to ban RT broadcasts by the famous philosopher Slavoj Zizek, an admirer of Marx and Lacan, a welcome, though always unexpected guest among Russian intellectuals.

"If the West were sure that RT was just cheap Russian propaganda, that no one would take the channel seriously, they would say: 'For God's sake, let it [broadcast]'," Zizek is quoted as saying by RT.

The reason for such a reaction of Western countries, in his opinion, "is that they are afraid."

"Not so much RT itself, but the fact that the messages they are trying to secretly exclude from the information environment (where they have a free hand) will appear on the RT channel - what they suppress ... what they are trying to exclude will appear," Zizek said..
