Soviet Bias?

[edit]

One of the headings suggests that RT has a "Soviet Bias." What does it mean to have a "soviet bias" from 2005 - 2011? Humbabba (talk) 18:52, 18 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Old talk

[edit]

Why is Walter Isaacson talking about the media as if it's a war? He doesn't care about real journalism then. He talks as if all journalism is is a war between national enemies. He is just angry because there is something to contest Fox News. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.194.216.176 (talk) 15:29, 5 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Article on an international medium is US biased

[edit]

Many of the US related news and perspectives on RT are mentioned nearly every day on the most important press and TV outletts in Germany and Austria. This is true for many conservative German mainstream media as well. Calling RT "left wing" is highly US biased.

Since the US aren't the news outlett's only target area, the US perspective of describing it as left wing is extremly POV. Practicly all European media share very simular perspectives on many US topics. Even knowing that even countries as the UK, Switzerland or Germany are socialist from some Americans point of view, the POV in this article is misleading from an non US perspective non the less. To be frank from the perspective of most western countries, the US republicans' politics and policies are rightwing extremists dream. Even US democrats policies are very conservative from most European point of views. Writing this article on an international news network from an mostly US-only perspective is obviously highly biased when it comes to judgeging the networks political position on an global scale. 87.164.97.106 (talk) 15:36, 25 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment

[edit]

Perhaps this article should be merged, but this must be properly done. Please place "merge" tag and discuss instead of making unilateral merging. Biophys (talk) 03:43, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I actually wouldn't mind seeing what "truly outside" editors think of this at an AfD. My sense of it is that the article is notable and important but fairly junkety at this point. It could be a decent article though right now it has some way to go. So it should not be deleted, especially, it should not be deleted out of process by being turned into a redirect on the basis of an IDON'TLIKEIT) it should be improved. But I'm willing to be persuaded on this. By people who are not partisan to this topic, that is. Volunteer Marek  05:15, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
