I don't agree they are the same. Because I never once hear Putin or his policies criticized on RT. And in the American press, Obama is constantly beaten up and put under the microscope (on both CNN and FOX New). By reporters, and also by members of Congress who are being interviewed on these channels. But, you're right, Russia is 100% portrayed as the aggressor in Ukraine, and Putin as a dictator in American media. I don't dispute these facts.
