      Yes it is 100% controlled by the Russian government. It is not a good news source unless you want to read what Putin wants you to read.

      And BBC is a british state controlled source. state-owned ≠ untrustworthy, at least not more untrustworthy than private media.

        BBC is actually not state controlled; it is an independent corporation. Though I agree with your sentiment, that a state controlled news source such as RT is untrustworthy.
