RT= Left leaning, anti-War, Liberal Voices actually allowed on the air, award winning in its first year, news org. Opinion talk shows include all sides of the political spectrum. Funded by Russian Govt, did cover anti-Putin demonstrations which were quite big. Russian news slanted, as expected towards Russia. MSM news as expected slanted towards the US.

Right or Left, I'll take Left every time. We are more than capable of sorting out bias from fact. But if I can see Amy Goodman, Chris Hedges, Thom Hartmann, on the air, none of whom are allowed on the MSM, I'll definitely be watching.

No one is 'cheering for Putin' either, but that is the black and white position DU is now taking, so I'm following along. And yes by the new standards on DU, people ARE 'cheering for Fox'.
