by facts. And the fact it is, it is very similar to AL Jazeera which is why it is so popular.

I wonder why people are so afraid of anything outside of our own Corporate Media??

Al Jazeera and RT are among the most popular news agencies around the world, both are government run and funded, which is actually great, no ads!! So you can watch a great discussion between world leaders and politicians without interruption.

Their interviewers do not interrupt Liberals the way our stenographers here do, (thanks Colbert).

Don't worry you don't have to read or watch anything you don't want to.

RT will remain a great source of information, and we adults are more than capable of figuring out what is propaganda and what is not.

But please, if you're going to comment on something, make sure you are more familiar with it than those you are addressing.

Not much difference between RT and Al Jazeera at all. I have watched both since their inceptions, so am very familiar with them among so many other sources.

What IS propaganda is the US Corporate owned media. Which is why so many of us sought out other sources and found them, tons of them from all over the world.
