Stuff like this isn't going to help their credibility:

A presenter for the Kremlin-backed news channel Russia Today (RT) has resigned from her job in protest over the broadcaster’s coverage of the Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 crash in Ukraine.
Sara Firth quit the post she has held at the Moscow based station for five years over what she described as their “total disrespect to the facts”, claiming on Twitter that the RT style guide rule one is: "It is ALWAYS *Ukraine's fault (*add name as applicable)”.
Firth, who was a London-based correspondent, told the Press Gazette: “It’s scary that it’s genuine RT guidance on how to do a story, and you have to believe it to succeed there. You stop believing that what they say is the way it is and you stop being useful to them.”
She described its coverage of the crash, which killed all 298 people on board, as "the straw that broke the camels back".
Her exit comes after RT anchor Liz Wahl resigned live on air in response to the station’s “whitewashed” coverage of events of the Ukraine crisis in March. The network swiftly denounced her actions as “nothing more than a self-promotional stunt”.
Explaining her decision to leave, she said: “Yesterday when the story broke you get the kick in your stomach when you’re going to get the facts and it’s this huge story.”
