RT
RT is a Russian state-funded international television network based in Moscow, launched in 2005, known for providing an alternative perspective to mainstream Western media. Its coverage of 853 headlines shows a stark contrast: Russia and Putin are portrayed sympathetically, while the US, Ukraine, and Zelensky are covered critically, with equal volume for Russia and the US at 125 headlines each.
