Stopping All Stations – The Pyongyang Metro

One exercise I picked up recently was to read the "Western" news, i.e. the Guardian and comparing with the Russian worldview at RT.com

RT might seem a bit.. over the top about certain topics (i.e. Syria and how Russia is doing), but is it really, or is it just OUR subtle propaganda that conditions me to take everything Russia says with a pinch of salt?

RT is to the Russian worldview as McDonalds is to the American healthy eating movement. Sorry, but it really is that bad.

I don't understand, do you mean RT is not at all representative of the Russian worldview, or do you mean RT is bad because of the influence it has on the Russian worldview?

Nah, it's terrible. And I'm not only referring to RT English - I find RT Arabic equally difficult to watch to be frank.

I noted that BBC jumped on the "Putin's comrades corrupt" at the same time that RT jumped on "Cameron's father corrupt" at the same time when the Panama papers were released.

Which is sad. The BBC used to be better than RT.
