“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!

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!

Don't listen to fake news. You must be a idiot if do

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.

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.

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

Do not believe single word! Hard to believe that when so much information available online right as things happen, there will be one called Rt.com thinking everyone is stupid and will try to present it their way. This site should be blocked!

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)

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.

This is not news. I went from reading RT daily as a platform for an alternative viewpoint, when that failed I began viewing it as on par with grocery store entertainment magazines like the National Enquirer, and finally after stomaching this tripe for 2 years I have finally admitted it is just a modern version of our old Soviet friend PRAVDA - a silly and blatant propaganda organ of the Russian elite. Get real Mr. Putin.

The Direct Line Insurance ad on RT at least 200 times a day is insulting to the well spoken English gentleman by that arrogant American actor. You are killing my enjoyment of RT by showing this ad even once.

If you look really closely they are still nowhere near independant with theyre reporting. Just because "official" anti western propaganda seems to be a new thing doesnt mean its not propaganda aswell. Gotta admit that they are not as full blown as some american news channels, but i still see no reason to give them any credibility whatsoever.
Because once a liar always a liar, it can only get shadier.

Propaganda at it's best. This Kremlin tool is used to promote the "ideals" (term used very loosely) of Putin, while downplaying the corruption in their own country. Crackpot "experts" and conspiracy theories abound. Worse, any comment that doesn't fit the agenda is promptly removed, while bigoted and hate filled comments are left in place.

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 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.

Good to get the other opinion sometimes. Some don't realize how bias western media is. RT, is basically Russias "the guardian". Somewhat bias in what they publish, but accurate.
