Is RTnews lying to its viewers?

in rtnews •  8 years ago 

On November 15th 2016 RTnews posted a live feed on their Facebook page of protesters in Greece stating people are protesting Obama's visit in Athens while @RUPTLY who were bringing the content, simply stated: Protests during Obama's visit to Athens

Now this is nothing uncommon that the title changes the more people share it but what I found suspicious is that those protests are expected at the moment and it is not because of Obama's visit but because of a anniversary dated back to November 17th 1973. This event has not been something unusual in Greece for many years now and they even warn people prior to that date to be cautious during that time when leaving their homes.

It's also funny that Obama chose those exact days to travel to Greece. For more drama in the news?
