Take any story from RT on the stability of the dollar with an abundance of salt.<p>Yes, the German gold story's fascinating (I've been following it off and on for a year or two now), but ... sort of vague.

Its coverage on other issues (see Sophie Schevardnadze's interview of Karen Hudes which I commented on a week or so back) is ... distinctly spotty.
