The BBC is funded by pretty much a direct yearly tax levied on TV owners. One thing I will say about TV channels is that they give their watchers what they want, if RT is aimed at Russians, then they'll kick the west when they can. The only real litmus test for a press office is how harsh they are on their own government (and every political party involved), and will they be straight up when the people who ultimately own them are under scrutiny.

mm I agree with what you say there which is why I said RT are quite good for reporting on things such as the american economy and wall street etc. without sugar coating it.... Overall they are not an amzing channel and are biased the same as Sky and BBC news.... If you want proper unbiased news look on unbiased, independant websites...
