An additional example of RT.com bias, in my opinion, is the tactic of moving a story link from the front page if the RT moderator wants to bury a certain post or opinion. It took about 30 minutes for that to happen this morning, after I entered my comment and it has happened before.

My post wasn't removed, but the article link was removed from a more prominent position on the main page. A newspaper analogy would be to bury a story where it is less likely to be read. I become uncomfortable with a news source which appears to use those tactics.

Agai n, it is all relevant to this discussion of free press and the availability of unbiased information from which the public may create an opinion. I hope this post is allowed to remain as an expression of individual opinion.

Yeah, right, and that's why Americans like me are coming to RT and RIA Novosti, because MSNBC, CNN and Fox are doing such a great job? My only complaint about RT is when it pushes that stinking liberal agenda instead of just presenting the news. But RT still gives me a lot of information and perspective I can not find via US sources.
---- -----------Let me try again, since RT censored my attempt #1. I should have specified RT.com in my initial post above. RT-TV does not have my support any longer. I believe RT-TV pushes an agenda that promotes conflict and friction among US citizens, and that such an approach is not an indication of freedom and choice of opinion or unbiased reporting of news.

I am apparently not allowed by an RT.com moderator to name the reporters I see doing this most often, but they are often attacking white males and promoting gun control measures that will strip Americans of a means of self defense. They consistently present one side of a story, an agenda. Those actions provided enough evidence for me to consider that channel lacking the minimal credibility I expect from a supposedly unbiased information source.

I do not believe a journalistic medium that pushes any political agenda is healthy for a balanced society. For the time being, I still think RT.com is better than nothing. The fact that I have to present this post in this way, as if trying to walk on eggshells without breaking them, is an example that the impartiality problem is also at RT.com. I believe this is a fair assessment and comment about the credibility of media, which is relevant to this article and presented in a respectful and courteous manner. I hope the RT moderator will allow this post.

Compare to the press controlled by the western media magnates, I am pleased to say that our press is really on the top of the ladder of freedom. The 142 position is questionable, unfair and certainly manipulated, because Rt, is not welcomed especially in the US. But to be honest, there is not completely free press in the world. Even those most truthful are corrected one way or another. We all know that, the absolute truth does not exist. Those who are familiar with RT knows, if you write something not quite in line with government agenda, your articles are twisted by pluses and minuses, to make it look rejected and unattractive, not in line with the majority of readers, but is not wiped off. The findings are reached after a multilayered process of analysis and evaluation by a team of the core research team headquartered in New York and this says it all. The countries of western Europe are all free with exception of Italy and Turkey only partly free. Countries of middle East only Israel is free. Countries of CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE / EURASIA only those integrated in the EU are ranked as free. So the my final judgment about this Press freedom survey? It’s a Zionists bluff. http://www.freedomho use.org/sites/defaul t/files/FOTP%202012% 20Booklet.pdf You can make your own judgment by reading the details here.
