Editorial perspective of RT
RT is generally regarded as right-leaning in its editorial orientation, according to widely cited media-bias assessments.
Crosswire groups Russia outlets into left, center and right so you can read the same day's events from more than one vantage point. Seeing RT beside outlets of a different orientation makes editorial choices — which stories lead, which framing is used, what gets omitted — far easier to spot than reading any single source alone.
Leanings shown on Crosswire are approximate editorial orientations drawn from widely cited media-bias assessments (such as AllSides, Ad Fontes Media and Media Bias/Fact Check) and from each outlet's reputation. They are offered to help you read the same story from different perspectives — not as definitive or exhaustive judgements. Where a confident rating was unavailable, an outlet is shown as centrist.
