When I lived in Denver there were several of these news channels on cable and it was interesting.
From a psychology standpoint, they were cool to watch.
I know a lot about Communism and Islam.
So, the news channels didn't mean it but all of their stories were heavily influenced by the core values of their culture. So, it was cool to see a news story from a Muslim perspective.
Russians aren't communist anymore but they do have the "fairness" goal still in place. Also, Eastern Europeans hate liars and there's a lot of that too.
I am not sure what influences our news or why. That's because I live in this culture so it's hard to see sometimes. We have a lot of delusional stuff and what Alfred Adler would call "Pleasant fiction". So, much of our news ignores things or omits them.
RT is the only news I regularly look at.

They have a lot of international news actually but yeah anything on TV is not going to appeal to your intellect or curiosity
Al-jazeera too, despite getting a lot of funding from the qatari government

I hate news programs but notice the RT seems to be the most logical. Also they deliver actual news about the US you don't see on US media.
They also have the Eastern European tendency to be logical vs gaslighting and happy horseshit that Americans do.
