But that being said I like to get news from more than one side if possible. BBC news seems to jump to reports of these Syrian massacres a bit too quickly for my liking. I also heard the Assad "regime" is still supported by 50% of Syrians, isn't that enough for a majority government in most countries? Seems a bit odd to me.
You are blind as a bat if you think RT is unbiased. Just because they tell you what "YOU" want to hear doesn't mean it's unbiased.

It's blatantly anti American/West pro Russia.

When they report news about the US or Western Europe it's always the bad stuff. They selectively only cover things that shine a bad light on US/EU economy/society and always show reports about US military in an over bearing light as if we are the great Hitler trying to oppress the poor Russians.

Meanwhile when covering Russian related news it's always the cheerful happy rainbows & unicorns.

IE they show the doom & gloom scare tactics while trying to make Russia seem better than everyone else. RT is about as unbiased as FOX news..
