RT as Public Enemy?

I nice retort from RT. Actually to be balanced one should never take anything the BBC,VOA / CNN, RT and Press TV say about their own countries interests at face value. For example it is rare to see an anti-Putin comment on RT but that doesn't mean that their reporting on other topics need not be fair and balanced, just us it would be rare to see VOA or CNN reporting on the systemic corruption on Wall St affecting the US political system. 

My advice is to take on board multiple viewpoints about any major issue and determine your take on the matter yourself as all media outlets have their own agenda, regardless of their country of origin.

And among those are Iran's Press TV, China's CCTV and RT. Political commentator Peter Lavelle says the chairman's statement puts him beyond real journalism
