Actually you are wrong on this one.
RT went batshit crazy, while even CNN was more objective, actually taking the time to explain both points. Their reporters went to Crimea, interviewing people and actually showed that 99% of the Crimeans wanted to join Russia. They also called the decision to ban (or at least limit the use of) the Russian language "stupid" ...
On the whole Syria issue, RT was far more objective than CNN; according to CNN the rebels were all awesome bros, while we all know that they are just as screwed up (if not more) than Assad.
I guess the closer to home the issue is, the crazier the propaganda gets
