Since then, it has become a voice of global warming denial and deflection and, more recently, of denial of the gravity of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. RT is an embarrassment that needs a sweeping overhaul by the Russian government if it is to be treated once again as a serious news outlet.)

Russia-Crimea-Ukraine
- Daily news and analysis of world events involving or affecting Russia can be found on RT and TASS, and on the websites of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation and the President of Russia. Essential analysis appears in Irrussianality (professor Paul Robinson at University of Ottawa). Insightful news and analysis of Ukraine appears on the Facebook page of Ivan Katchanovski (University of Ottawa), though it is marred by his inaccurate view of the pro-autonomy movement in Donbass (former Donetsk and Lugansk provinces of Ukraine) as ‘seperatist’.
