When I first saw RT I thought 'this could be interesting', however after watching it for a few days it became obvious that it is hilariously bias. Every time I turn it over they are busy flogging the OWS dead horse as if it's some virtuous world-wide freedom movement whilst maintaining an almost total silence on the anti-Putin protests. Their moralizing on Afghanistan is also pretty hypocritical, they must think we have short memories. Hilariously it's also produced in the US. Wouldn't it be good to have an unbiased news channel?
- jahmed 14y agoBias is fine so long as its clear as their editorial policy. Its when news tries to be 'fair' that we get problems. I consider The Economist to be a perfect example of this. They are quite openly biased to supporting the virtues of free trade and free markets. No one thinks this is a bad thing and allows them to present that position quite freely. We all have biases and pretending that you can report on news impartially is silly and deceptive.
