Anyone on here watch it? If so, thoughts?

I've noticed lately that when I'm setting up the pub for the day, I'm more and more likely to have this channel on in the background than the BBC or Sky News. Seems a lot more informative, and less agenda driven.

Do they mention much about Greenpeace?

Funnily enough they ran a piece on it this morning? And a piece about one of the jailed girls from "Pussy Riot" being hospitalised from prison...

Partly that's what got me thinking that there aren't any agendas on the channel.

They run a lot of stories that don't seem to make the BBC or SKY news? I find that particularly interesting.

All news stations are bias on one way or another, but having said that I do find RT to be a very interesting news channel and as you say covers items that the BBC doesn't always pick up straight away or just gives a different view point.

I also enjoy 'The Keiser Report' on RT, with Max, unusual chap but knows his stuff.

Oh, RT has plenty of agendas. But like any media, it can sometimes take a little while to pick up on its particular bias. But I do find it a pretty decent news channel and is commonly on in the Jackonicko house.

If I want lazy news I watch sky or whatever.

If I want a more truthful serous report on the situation such as Syria or the economic crisis then I watch RT.

I love the Keiser report Stacy Herbert is lush..actually it s full of hot intelligent birds that makes very pleasant watching...be nice if they could do a topless spot occasionally.

So what so you watch if you want truthful news about what goes in in Russia,you know the kind of thing like police brutality etc that always happens in America?

That's a serious question.

I don't understand but I ll try.

RT is a respected news channel that is shown all over the globe,along with its website it is accessed by millions.

It is not corporate owned like Sky,Fox,Cnn,Bloomberg etc. as a result it is not briefed to give output suitable to appease it s sponsors or owners etc.

As a result the news it reports,tends to be fresh,unbiased and truthful...I think so anyway,many people agree.that is why it is always my first choice to get the real picture of what is happening.

So basically what you're saying is if it's happening in Russia they're reporting it then?

Have I got that right?

It is a channel that reports current affairs globally.

There are many news items on what is happening currently is Russia and also insightful view into the country and it s culture.

If you mean do they run daily reports on police corruption,KGB covert operations,spies in the Kremlin etc the the answer is no.

No, it's not "corporate owned" - but it is entirely funded by the Russian Federation. To describe it as unbiased is laughable. It is no less biased than the BBC, it just has a different POV.

There is nothing wrong with its coverage. As I say, I like it a lot and it gives a different perspective. But don't be naive.

Well if that s your opinion fine I got no problem with that.

All I m saying is out of all the news networks,for me personally,RT Iis the one that tends to be accurate and informative. :)


It s all a matter of personal choice,it would be boring if we all liked the same things would nt it?

No idea, hardly ever watched it. I'm a leftie, so naturally watch the BBC, for all the news with a lefty slant you could possibly want.

I'm going to pitch that to them as a new tagline for the BBC News Channel.
