Russia tv (Putin, Iraq, female, broadcast)

[LiaLia]

As of today is appearing in our satellite menu. It's called RT. Maybe it's been in other markets for some time, don't know. I've been watching it for about 10 minutes. I remember being surprised when Al Jazeera started broadcasting here at the height of the Iraq war. This doesn't seem as surprising.

I've watched a few RT clips on youtube and thought they were pretty good. The one I remember the best was about female tank drivers in WWII. There's so much we americans don't know about ordinary russian lives, and RT can be a great source.

I stay away from articles about Putin and politics though. I KNOW there will be nothing even-handed in them.
