Things RT does and doesn't report on:

[DetlefK]

RT does report on:

- school-shootings and poverty and police-brutality and how the US is a shithole-country



RT does not report on:

- leaked chat-messages where Assange says that he wants the GOP to win in 2016

- Rob Porter: one story on the whole Rob Porter-scandal. It does not mention Kelly's role, or Huckabee-Sanders' shifting explanations, or Trump speaking out in favor of Porter, or how Porter was slated to be promoted despite not having clearance.

- Stormy Daniels: RT dedicated one paragraph out of a larger article to the controversy... because she said Trump is bad in bed. The affair and the hush-money get A WHOLE SENTENCE of reporting out of the entire reporting of all of RT. And of course nothing about Cohen claiming that he paid the hush-money and not Trump.

- No mention whatsoever that the Democrats are trying to release their own memo to counter the misleading one by Nunes.

- Steve Wynn gets one article, which he has to share with a story about one of Hillary Clinton's staffers. Because "both sides do it".

2. Roughly the flipside of what our corporate media do and don't report on.

I wouldn't want to rely on RT as my sole news source but I'm glad it's there.

3. Find me 2 stories that RT has reported on, but US media not.

5. Sure, I'll just spend a couple hundred hours of research, be right back

From your OP: "school-shootings and poverty and police-brutality and how the US is a shithole-country". I'd say that the MSM do cover school shootings (if it bleeds, it leads); give some reporting to the most notable cases of police brutality, but underreport the day-to-day brutality that doesn't involve dramatic murders of unarmed people; grossly underreport poverty, including its causes and effects; and are quite uneven in reporting "how the US is a shithole-country" if by that you mean, in general, problems and failures of our society.

Any additional reporting on these subjects is a valuable component of the overall media mix.

I can't think of any source, be it RT or any of the MSM stalwarts or the likes of AlterNet/Common Dreams/truthout, that I would consider adequate as my sole source of information.
