Views
[edit]Speaking to Bill O'Reilly, Stone claimed Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's statements about the holocaust and Israel had been misunderstood.[11] He has stated in interviews his belief that 9/11 was an "inside job" and that British intelligence possibly had prior warning of the 2005 London bombings.[12][13]
Stone worked as executive producer of “Zelenskyy Unmasked”, a video series by fellow RT America employee Ben Swann.[14]
In his last episode on RT America, Stone criticized celebrities for speaking out against Russia's invasion, and claimed that Oprah Winfrey had banned Tolstoy's War and Peace from her book club, and said it was wrong to characterize Russian leader Vladimir Putin as "some kind of dictator".[1]
