Leonov held a press conference and his claim is that he's had access to additional documents that back his theory. Unfortunately the documents themselves haven't been released so this mostly amounts to Leonov re-iterating his position.

The story itself is covered widely by Russian media so while you're right about RT in general, in this particular case, the RT thing is incidental.

I don't find it all that different from the BBC or US network news in that respect. TV news substitutes drama for actual journalism most of the time.

I wish RT would broadcast more stuff about Russia - it's an interesting and under-reported country.

Every time I turn it on, though, they seem to either be slating the United States or peddling conspiracy theories off the internet. It's strange. I'd watch it if they talked about their own country.
