Not all RT's coverage is direct propaganda. Some is aimed at building an audience, to "make use of" in "critical moments", such as war.pic.twitter.com/76CEcOK1ph
In "critical moments", RT adopts Russian government language, such as speaking of the Ukrainian "coup" in 2014.pic.twitter.com/a2qfDT1wI9
RT called the Russian special forces in Crimea "self-defence squads" long after they were exposed.pic.twitter.com/yQT16oSciL

JJ MacNab added,
I didn't understand the Russian obsession with booking conspiracy mongers like Alex Jones. Sure does make sense now
Your farewell speech on RT was epic, Liz.
