“Facts are my religion,” she says. “When it comes to covering a story if anyone asked me to alter or drop something I’d be out. I wouldn’t think twice about it.”

Neither story (Ukrainian side, pro-Russian side) is fact right now, so she's overreacting.

Anyway, I wasn't arguing their popularity, rather their credibility. Based on what I've seen and read from them, their about as credible as the UK's Daily Mail (not a lot). Find something that fits the company line and ignore everything else. Not all news outlets are that bad although they all skew things to differing degrees.

They're biased, like any other major media, if you think otherwise you're naive. Lack of credibility is, say, reprinting fake news. Want some fake news? Go to UNIAN ("bitch" entirely owned by Mr.Kolomoisky).

Like I said, find something that follows the company line and ignore everything else. The lack of credibility is in not checking or verifying sources or ignoring information/data that doesn't fit their line.

All media does this to some degree, but the more credible news outlets will do their own investigations and present all the data (with some language based spin of course). From what I've seen of RT, they're at the lower end of the credibility scale.

Don't know much about UNIAN, as far as I can tell from that link, they don't have much in the way of substance.
