RT Ads Killed in Airports Kept Alive in Flash
Recently US airports rejected controversial Russia Today ads that are turning heads across the UK. Major US airports refused to display these and other images intended for use in the Russia Today’s December 2009 US advertising campaign.
RT advertisements juxtaposed provocative images which show different sides of a story. They ask questions and encouraged viewers to question more, since you can only reach a balanced judgment by being better informed. By challenging the accepted view, they reveal a side of the news that you wouldn’t normally see.

Is Terror Only Inflicted By Terrorists?

I have to agree with the concept behind the campaigns. After all, the more you question, the more you know.
