People like to complain about RT. Fine. But who else is covering the humanitarian situation there? Why is our media is purposely not covering this well nor accurately and there is a very strong political agenda in our media as well.

This humanitarian situation would be front and center if it were not so inconvenient to our political class.

It is so much more politically useful to blame everything on Russia, and continue to support the savage attacks Kiev is employing to crush any resistance. Our foreign policy is clearly not about helping the people of Ukraine. If it were we would have demanded these indiscriminate artillery attacks stop at once.
