So what is the deal with RT really? What's the assessment? I know very little about RT other then its "Russian State Media". Is it just a full blown propaganda house like the west says or what?
I'd certainly take it over CNN, BBC, DW, Fox etc. but yeah, it's very hit or miss. They can sometimes bring up leftist points you'd never get in Western media but also a lot of weird socially right wing stuff too and some takes that frankly do not always strike me as all that smart. It's pro-Russia yes, as are all large news companies towards the country they are based out of.
I like RT due to its multipolar point of view, but when it comes to issues of gender or lgtbq+ rights, it is garbage.
