RT has a bunch of correspondents with Russian or Ukrainian(?) names whose English pronunciation is pretty damn perfect for the countries they work in. They may be natural born citizens or they may be the children of Russian diplomats (one, Anastasia Churkina, the daughter of the Russian UN Ambassasor, absolutely is) or they may simply be very well trained.

A number of RT correspondents and anchors have resigned, all for essentially the same reasons.

Readers of any news source have to be careful.

RT

Trail of bodies follow the retreat of Jihadists in Syria.
Note: these bodies could have been planted by the Syrian army.

Is my assumption correct, that they broadcast nothing else than anti American BS?
Chris just like any other news source you read and evaluate the story against other reports.

Oh and Chris looking though this thread and knowing this site, your asking primarily a group that vilifies any news source that is not in concert with their aganda. All the while they are posting information from extremist souces and deem it factual.

No we don't.

But I just quoted a post form a fellow that likes to badmouth everyone here with ridiculous insulting smears.

Listened to CNN weekend anchor, Poppy Harlow (her real name?) yesterday and was so pleased.

Nice to listen to a presenter who does not come across as trying to overwhelm the audience and or the interviewee.

RT is attempting to give visuals to its claims that its air campaign so far has been effective.

In the video the presenter, Murad Gazdiev, claims that the flight and desertion of civilians from the areas have made the air strikes easier.
