Russia Today news agency apparently is following similar news reporting style as Aljazeera, BBC, and CNN which they tell the story of one side while keep the other side hidden. I hate such news channels where they do not acknowledge the two sides and this does not make RT a good one either. so disappointed and make you think as why they do so hmmmm interesting.
