He'll host a show on the Kremlin-sponsored U.S. cable network
“It’s called the feeling of freedom,” Ventura’s voice echoes. “Welcome to my world; come along for the ride.”
Ventura won’t be the first U.S. personality on RT. Ed Schultz, a liberal commentator formerly with MSNBC, also hosts a show. But his gravitation to RT is no accident. His son, Ty, has worked for the network for years, as a producer and now co-host of “Watching the Hawks,” a television show that examines media, pop culture and politics.
Ventura blames the media for the overturning of the verdict, saying the appeals court was swayed by many major news organizations including the New York Times and CNN, which signed an amicus brief that said unjust enrichment would set a dangerous precedent. (The Star Tribune did not sign on to the brief.)
“They control what people think,” he said. “Now they can lie to their hearts’ content.”
