When i listen to Russian news they go by facts not emotions or feelings. Just wondering if somebody also thinks so.

Those aren't facts, they're propaganda. Russian news is 100% state owned and used to control the population. It's Fox News on steroids.

Sometimes RT can provide an interesting perspective on an issue, especially their coverage on Europe. I don't find them any more or less trustworthy than American media these days, and that's no compliment to either.

Trump has done everything he accused Hillary of, but worse. Hillary is not even a fraction as evil, insane, or corrupt as Trump.

Ofcom has had to deal with numerous cases of RT Bias and RT has been found guilty of numerous breaches by Ofcom, indeed Ofcom even launched a major inquiry in to RT Today, whilst the Russian state-funded Sputnik news agency is also dubious.

Nope. Most Russian media is State-controlled propaganda. I really don't understand how people can view RT positively especially as that's well-known to be the Russian State propaganda news.
