“More truthful than the corporate media”

Les P.
12/11/20

RT actually post stories with back up evidence that let the viewer decide if True or False, unlike the sensationalist gossip spewed out by the American corporate media. Pharmaceutical companies selling dangerous drugs and pro war, pro corporate, corrupt U.S. Politicians, ignoring voter's demands while catering to their wealthy financial backers are exposed to the Public every week. The brutal military occupation of Palestine as well as the never ending unwinnable American foreign wars are also highlighted. These topics are not covered by the U.S. mainstream media for fear of offending their advertisers and their access to government officials.

“RT Censors with Ghost Bans”

Tim G.
12/1/22

RT has a particularly deceptive way of ghosting its posters. They put posters into an "Unreliable" mode which auto blocks their posts and makes them wait for individual review. Yet they ask you to get around the censorship on them by various means. They are just as bad as the rest!

Dishonest, toxic to your mind, if you watch it daily there is a chance you fell in love with Putin
No evidence provided, false accusations, misleading statements

RT looks hard up and amateurish showing the "crazy Russians skiing in bikinis "
Report by one sex starved English teacher with no presenting experience. The filming all on height of women's crutches and buttocks in bikinis. Filmed in style of soft porn channel to advertise travel sex holidays. The presenter talking nonstop about his "broken leg, how crazy all the young Russians were and his obsession for a date with one Masha". I turn RT over every time this rubbish loops over and over. PURRRLEASE!
Also the report by the sweet very young lady who returned to Tanazania for grandmother's 117th birthday was a too long filler 80% too drawn out and again amateurish. Teeth gratingly too boring and long. RT what is going on with you? Can you not employ professionals, are you scraping the bottom of the pot for content? Soon I will not bother. At least the UK TV commercial Channels and BBC employ professionals. RT now has such short loops on its programming.

Saying about mass graves, Ukraine and Russia admit both messed up on the cease fire. No just Russia. Saying Ukraine nationals refusing the let people leave to country to go to Russia. Am sure no Ukrainian wants to be a part of Russia. Russia is lying why you think blocked Facebook and other news feeds. Wake up and take your country back from a idiot!

Tip for consumers:
Don't listen to fake news. You must be a idiot if do

I and my family and friends LOVE rt.com. One of the HONEST information sources, which is hard to find nowadays: in the period of TOTAL WESTERN-GLOBALIST-MEDIAS mind control. We trust RT, we respect RT, keep up great work! And we don't care that the "collective West" authoroties block you in the West. This is their "freedom of expression"! They blocked all other languges of your site, but we can read it in Russian and translate.
THANK YOU FOR BEEING THERE!

Tip for consumers:
RT.COM is one of the very few honest information sites.

I used to go to RT daily to get a different perspective. There is some bias, but my biggest complaint is with the recent change in their comment section, where comments are denied for incomprehensible reasons. I review my comments and cannot see ANYTHING in it that would be objectionable, and still it's denied - AND YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO POST ABOUT IT BEING DENIED. Is very frustrating.

Why is there so much coverage in Gaza and little about Hamas firing 300 rockets a day into Israel? A rocket costs $800 - why isn't anyone reporting about the money? Gaza has 1.8 Million people, with approx. 1500 rockets being fired at Israel - where is the money coming from? Where is all the aid money going for the Palestinians? Why is Hamas spending the money on rockets and not their people and why are the Palestinians tolerating it? Why does Hamas do this to their people? And why isn't it being reported?

Although biased, like every other news site, it is by far the best news source and makes an effort to prove its claims and if it cannot prove them, it also is honest about not being able to verify them, unlike almost every other source of news. For this reason, its comments section is flooded with anti-Russian trolls, many of which seem to sit on RT comments all day, every day, giving away that they do if for a job. Lately the site has been attacked by hackers constantly and plagued by disinformation trolls in the comments due to the Ukraine conflict. The bias at RT comes in the form of what the articles are about, not how the information in them is presented. They don't focus much on what bad things are happening in Russia for example, but mostly on what bad things happen to Russia or another country, if a Western Nation is responsible. I have no problem with this, because it is a fact that most problems around the world are indeed caused by Western Nations. This is a fact that many cannot admit, so they hate RT.

Tip for consumers:
If you are open minded and willing to do some real research to verify information that RT provides in its articles, then RT is great, if not you, will probably freak out and run back to an MSM echo chamber to hear about how Putin is evil and the how the US is saving the world with democracy, which = (code for capitalising on every other countries instability that the US has caused)

Some articles from external authors are good, but RT own production is very poor. Also the website is run by children, or people who are mentally children and Russian government is wasting money on this "journalism". If you are looking for news from Russia, stay away and find other sources.

It used to be a good way to get news that made the west look bad, but deteriorated badly. Almost all free media in Russia in gone, RT is just trumpeting the Kremlins bizarre reasoning and lies and almost all free media is gone, up to 15 years in prison for telling the truth will mean there's literally no more opposition unless all the Russians decide they don't like putin anymore, who's committing war crimes with his ukraine invasion, killing thousands Ukrainian and Russians citizens and his own soldiers, but RT wont tell that to the russian people, they are trumpets and betray their own people.

Awful lie, it is not possible to watch this channel. All information is provided one-sided. On facebook it is not possible to leave comments about the channel. Paid reviews, the ignorance of the commentators shocked me. Providing information and there is no respect for employees. There is also no security for journalists and their work.

Working in the media I find it very hard finding opinionated news. FOX CNN MSNBC all claim to be independent from the government but all sprew opinionated facts. There is no investigative reporting anymore in the western media. For example there was a damn that was falling apart in California and the news agencies were stuck talking about Trump and his madness. Turn to RT and they are right there talking about this damn. I have to get news in America from an overseas source? The people of America really do not appreciate real news anymore. Fake is real and real is fake in the West. Telling times of an empire falling...

RT offers a far more balanced and insightful brand of news than mainstream media. Mainstream media sources all sing from the same script (pro war, anti Russia etc etc) and its not an accident when you get so many media outlets all taking the same angle on events when its possible to have a different opinion (where were the people saying launching missles at Syria weren't a good idea, surely they exist but not allowed to be aired on MSM. If you must watch Mainstream Media you would do well to balance it with a dose of RT to compensate for the bias that clearly exists on the main networks.

I decided to see what Russians are seeing, and this station is political rhetoric from the Kremlin. Autocracy doesn't work.

You seriously are a degenerate if you think that this is a legitimate news source. So much propaganda glorifying the Russian intervention in Syria and ZERO criticism of anything related to Russia. The only reason why I'm giving it two stars is because it doesn't engage in slander like salon.

I source my news from many different agencies and find RT to be the most real and diverse outlet on freeview TV.
It is not, as some would have you believe, Kremlin propaganda. Indeed many programs and stories have been critical of Russia.
I find it to be the news that most makes sense and ties in with more news of unconnected agencies than any other.
I have difficulty finding any examples of propaganda or dishonesty unlike other more respected outlets such as the BBC.

Seems to be a mouthpiece for Putin's ruling party - they tow the party line. Need to read their stuff with a grain of salt, but worthwhile if you are really interested in Russia and the former republics since they have sports and lifestyle news you probably won't find (in English) elsewhere.
