Russia Today has a specific remit to paint the West, particularly the EU, UK in particular and US in the most negative light possible inside and outside Russia. It is to it’s benefit for it to appear to uphold free speech as much as possible.
Anywhere where you might expect the UK or US media to be negative about something, then RT is positive about it. as an example, thinking back to the 2010 student protests in the UK. RT was very positive about them, “anti-government protesters” in the same way that our media has been positive about the motley crew of people who have got rid go the Ukrainian president, and been applauded for it by our media and political class, RT has broadly taken an opposite view.
I don’t think this specifically highlights a fundamental dishonesty behind what RT does, certainly not over and above the fundamental dishonesty of our state media (BBC) in this country, which lies, misrepresents and obfuscates reality in it’s news reporting all the time.
