What happens when there is no second opinion? When nobody questions the evidence? When those in power are allowed to tell their story unchecked by the news media?

RT’s “Second Opinion” ad campaign kicked off in August 2014. Its aim: to bring attention to the importance of having a real diversity of voices in the global news media space, and to posit RT as the place to go for alternative viewpoints on current events.
The Iraq War, which serves as the theme of the campaign, is just one example of what can happen when mass media is all too willing to agree on a narrative. More than 11 years later, tens of thousands of people in Iraq and other countries have paid the price for that consensus, with no end to the quagmire in sight.
