Whenever I see RT mentioned, it's always called a "sophisticated propaganda operation" (or something along those lines), and I must say I can't help but physically cringe.
Almost as if every other news network and media company is not a propaganda operation meant to serve interests, and RT is the odd one out.

Yes, more comparably to the BBC. The only one unique enough to have a royal charter to be the state broadcaster in the UK. They will defend the interests of the country that they are operating in.
So the next time a giant scandal about Anonymous's secrets is uncovered or if the BBC airs something that Anonymous doesn't like in the UK, maybe they will run a DDoSing tool against them?
The state news agencies are only problematic as sources when they are writing about their own government or immediate enemies... in that they will tend to prefer publishing what their leaders are saying vs what the enemy is saying about them.
