Why I use RT as the major news source
The main reason, of course, is that RT comes closer to the truth than any USA STRONG "news".
RT has plenty of biases in the progressive direction. They tend to favor bitcoin and "global warming" and Net Neutrality. But they don't run off into stark insanity with their biases, and they generally see USA STRONG from an objective outside view.
A simpler reason:
They do a better job of covering LOCAL NEWS RIGHT HERE.
Screencap from RT right now:
Immediately checked KREM:
Nothing about a train derailment south of Seattle, which is being treated as a "mass casualty incident" according to RT. Instead, KREM's big breaking news is some would-be "terrorist" bumping into the gates of a base in England.
