Russia, RT and Putin are now the most powerful beings in the world. If you touch any Russian you will get permanent cooties, because Putin controls them all. If RT shows Obama, Hillary or others, you must break all contact with those persons immediately! 
Anybody who watch any kind of media should learn a bit of critical thinking first. And then maybe also learn, that diversity is interesting. It is stunning to see how different the "same" stories are told in different countries and channels. And even more when they are told just the same - that is when you should really be aware.
It is easy the see the difference. F.ex. MSNBC has the worst commercial breaks, and RT has the worst news breaks. You can also easily find BS at MSNBC and RT in between very fine and interesting journalism at both places.
Some of it is hard to find in other places, so I will keep watching. But I am never watching any channels for hours - I am always watching carefully selected content.
