slightly OT but does anyone recommend journalism from organizations that avoid this sort of misleading information? I'm not sure if I've just become more sensitive to it but recently I feel like I can't get away from it. WSJ (non-opinion) seems to be one of the few places that tends to have accurate headlines IMO.

I wouldn't say that they are totally unbiased, but the BBC is the most respected international news organization on the planet today. The are definitely pro-western democracy, as opposed to RT, but if the BBC broadcasts outright lies there are open processes to force corrections. The BBC has oversight whereas RT is a closed box that can do as they please.

It really isn't. The BBC publishes wrong or hopelessly biased stories all the time, which is why the majority of the British population no longer trusts them. As for processes to get corrections, as with many firms the best way to get their stories fixed is being it to the attention of blogs read by the ruling party e.g. Fawkes. Using their actual complaints procedure rarely seems to work.

RT is Russian state media, thus its propagandist, its not a real news outlet. There is no "journalism" tradition there in terms of ethics, trust, standards, etc. It follows the party line and the Kremlin's needs, which currently are to make the US/West look as bad as possible.

An important caveat is that they also post lots of normal content, so that it's harder to argue that RT should be blocked outright, and harder to identify the propaganda.

RT wants to spread misinformation on YouTube because Putin’s government wants to move Russians to Russian tech companies that can be “managed”.
