Do you follow Russian media, Mushkilla?

Yes, I do. I watch Russia Today.
But the problem is that RT is not partial when it comes to home Russian events or international events.

So, you don't/can't follow Russian language media, yet you claim to know what is and isn't being covered on it?

I don't understand this, either. It's usually considered positive if a media channel is impartial, but this seems to be couched as a problem.

As this is a forum for teachers of the English language, I personally think the standards are by definition high here, as they should be.
