Russia Today TV station is pretty good, I think. If you don't have this channel you can get it on online TV; you just download the client, and run it in fullscreen mode- Zattoo, TVU, LiveStation. (just search for it)

I'd recommend anyone to check it out. I had a chance to watch it a bit over the last few days and I will keep it.
My review:

  • Good coverage of world news.
  • Very professional execution.
  • Some of their commentators are a bit "fringe" in their opinions. But it's interesting to hear what they have to say.
  • Good mix of British, American and Russian staff.


  • They have a totally insane-sounding, but probably pretty clued-up financial commentator called "Keyser" ex-Wall Street person. His latest tip: Short JP Morgan, they are crooked, deserve to go down and probably will very soon.

In terms of political shade/agenda:

  • Quite objective on world news - good reporting from Europe. Interesting coverage of Russian stories.


  • Wow, you should have heard what came out in the Richard Holbrooke obituary by their Paris correspondent. I almost dropped the iron (was ironing..)


  • They are not really going to critisize the current Russian leadership on this channel unfortunately... Everything else is fair game though.
