There's obviously some mistake, "Russia Today" should be along with "Thrillist", "NowThis News", and "Dodo" and not reputable news like CNN or Fox.

You should value RT more highly in the current situation. The war pigs are trying their damnedest to start a war with Russia, and all you get from CNN is "rules of engagement" (i.e. "what we decided to do, international norms be damned") and "Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF)" (i.e. "Al Qaeda become our allies as soon as they cross the border, because hey they want to see a war with Russia too"). If all Americans spent a little time considering the positions of those offered up as our "enemies", the military-industrial complex would have a more difficult time with their evil plans. CNN and other content mills like them are blindfolds we willingly wear.

RT is a state-run propaganda machine of the Russian government.
Spoiler-alert: they only have the interests of the russian government in mind.

I suggested considering the positions of our putative enemies before we're all dragged into a disastrous war, and your retort is that RT reports the position of Russia... is this irony?
To whose interests do you imagine that MSNBCNNFox cater?

Both of you for some reason list CNN and Fox in the same category, is there a reason for that?

It is because I'm a Brazilian and from here what I see is that both are right wing media companies working hard to keep their riches richer. Also, the major Brazilian media company has born from the same group as CNN.

CNN is basically the unofficial Democratic Party mouthpiece.
The Democratic Party isn't traditionally "left-wing", but it certainly seems wrong to call them "right-wing".

Yeah, and here in Brazil, the right-wing is the unofficial US Democratic Party vassal, starting by Globo (CNN-affiliated).
Here "liberals" are not considered left-wing but right. Sanders and a few would be considered somehow left wing here, but not that much.
