Nothing too unexpected, it is Russian media and yeah it often has a Russian bias. I don't think it is any better or worse about that than any other news channel. Sometimes they have had good coverage about things, and sometimes they don't.

Is it technically propaganda? Sure, just as much as any other news sources are. Propaganda isn't necessarily untrue. I think trying to filter news to some pure unbiased ideal is an exercise in futility. But that isn't at all what western forces are trying to do with RT. They just don't want contrary viewpoints.
