Yup - Interestingly, RT is really the only English speaking TV that is reporting honestly about this at the moment.
I.e. the risks and costs for Europe, the fact that most of the refugees are men in their twenties, many of whom were already living in Lebanon and Turkey and actually didn't need to flee anything.

But they are also reporting compassionately about the fact that many of the refugees really are very vulnerable and handed a very unfair hand. It's understandable that they try to leave their godforsaken lands.. I appreciate that RT tries to show both sides and not just push an agenda.

In the meantime other English-speaking or Western European TV is showing cute kids (a tiny proportion of the refugees) and accusing everybody who doesn't support unlimited influx, of rasism.
