Oh, common, it’s just RT - cut them some slack: they are really trying. The sad part is how many feebleminded people believe these fairy tales from Mordor...

Yes, Russia Today, as it used to be termed ("RT" does sound so much more sanitized) is about as reliable as, say, Pravda is...

I trust RT more than I do MSNBC or CNN. Secondly, I trust them more than the dolts at the United Nations.

RT has broken news in the past - like about when a U.S. aircraft carrier was heading to be off the coast of Syria last year - a report that no one would touch, but was followed up by Reason.com

Sure, some stuff from RT might be best taken with a grain of salt. But the same can also be said about MSNBC, CNN and other state media in the U.S.

In the end, verify - no matter who it is.

And with that in mind, I don't treat RT any differently than I do the New York Slimes, Washington Compost, MSDNC, See BS, etc.
