I happened to be watching RT while at a hotel on business. I thought the obviously Kremlin slanted take on Syria was a bit amusing, that Syria was fighting an armed insurgency. You'd read the New York Times and think they were just mowing down civilian protestors. Sure enough, a few weeks later the cover of the Economist has Syrian "protestors" wielding machine guns.

Whats impressive is that both the "right" and "left" media in the United States pretty much run the same story, leaving some minor disagreements on detail making each seem to be at opposite extremes of each other. That's important when you have to you propaganda or marketing to get your message out.
