They are very anti US/Western Establishment and of course pro Russia. They pretty much "only" cover US related news that is bad for the US. So while it might be accurate they have no balance of good & bad it's only what is beneficial for Russia. (ie just like FOX news only covers what is beneficial for the Right Wing)

On the other hand they have overwhelming amount of "good" news story based around Russia's interests.

I mean really if you can't go to their site and see they are just as bad as Fox news in regard to funneling the viewer into the mindset they want, then you seriously have your eyes closed.

I did this once before.. but lets try it again..

Example of news headlines currently on RT.com in their "US" section..


1)Congress on the move to legalize torture
2)Judge won't let Citigroup get away with fraud
3)Military contractor launches smear campaign against Medal of Honor hero
4)Rand Paul vs Battlefield USA
5)Battlefield US: Americans face arrest as war criminals under Army state law


This shit goes on and on...nothing but Doom & Gloom reporting when it revolves around the US or our allies. Yet if the reporting revolves around Russia it's either defending themselves from evil America and Europe or rainbows & unions in motherland Russia.

RT is about as biased as they come.
