Do you not agree that Fox news is biased in their presentation of news? It's still mostly accurate but they present the news in a distorted manor that favors the right wing and the GOP.

RT.com is exactly the same. They might present accurate news but they present it in a distorted manor that favors what is good for Russia vs by showing nothing but distorted negative reports against the US.

Just because it's what "YOU" want to hear does not mean it's not biased. As I said in the other topic, "EVERY" news agency is biased to what their viewers want to hear. Otherwise they soon would not have any viewers because people don't want to hear what they don't agree with.

example.. on RT.com is this story with headline..

"Military contractor launches smear campaign against Medal of Honor hero"

Really a smear campaign?? They didn't go on some "smear campaign", they gave him a negative review to a future employer. While yes that is actually illegal to do it is far from as the headline suggests going on a "smear campaign".

It's obviously just a bad employers and probably not such a great employee if you read what he did.

Yet RT.com makes it seems like big bad evil US arms sale company tries to ruin medal of honor hero's life. Now obviously they are in the wrong because it's against the law to give a bad review to another employer. However he was fired for a very legit reason.. He disobeyed his employer and was causing problems because he felt they shouldn't be selling arms to Pakistan.

So while their story might be accurate in some terms it skews the facts trying to show the reader into an agenda that is set forth right from the headline.

In short they are as biased as they come.
