"Russia Today was for 10 years almost the only way to know what's really going on in my country".
I'm only being half-sarcastic. RT will cover factual issues about Western countries that the state-endorsed media won't. But they're still disinformation outlets that should be consumed with a massive grain of salt, just like RFE and RFA.
That's a ridiculous take. Yes, Russian propaganda works best when they are based on a grain of truth, and it often is. However, it is just that - a propaganda machine serving a dictator.
I'm forever grateful to them and it horrifies me that their mission ultimately has failed.
