I do love the era of digital television bringing us more options. I live in an area overlapped by two public broadcasters. There are a total of six channels with four in English now instead of just two (why don't commercial broadcasters bring us more content, btw?). Of those, one channel is nothing but foreign news broadcasts. It's a great relief to see that somewhere in the world the news consists of reports of actual events. I love Al Jazeera. It's just calmly-stated straight news with zero bullshit. CNN seems to be nothing but reading tweets these days.

On the other hand, RT is super LOL. It's nothing but "Russia is great, Vladimir Putin sure is handsome, and next on RT: Why America is going to collapse within the week!" I guess it's also refreshing to know that blatant propaganda is still being produced too...
