Very simple. Did RT America ever have a Houston studios or bureau? Provided reference makes no mention of any cities for bureaus at all (checked the exact date for the site at Internet Archive, as well as current site).
Found another primary source with bureau information (article updated as such), but Houston is excluded. Hesitant to remove Houston, since for all I know maybe they actually had a studio there for some period of time.
I can't find any evidence of an RT America Houston studio. Maybe someone else can, and provide the specific citation. Otherwise, Houston will need to come off this list. Mike Richardson (talk) 04:31, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
Didn't even notice the big mess in that paragraph that got added the other day. Mike Richardson (talk) 14:57, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
Houston is gone. I've probably been too conservative in it's removal. Let's see the evidence before it gets put back. Mike Richardson (talk) 09:13, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
It's kind of weird to have an article that uses an acronym and never expands it. There should be a sentence like, The network was originally named "RT" to stand for "Russia Today". It's possible that, for marketing reasons, "RT" doesn't stand for anything anymore. Even so, the origin of the name is pertinent given the controversy over Russian bias.

The fact of FARA (foreign agent) registration is of great significance; it belongs in the lead. Neutralitytalk 03:00, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
The FARA registration was ordered by US , see http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/russia-today-sputnik-us-foreign-agent-rt-news-affliate-kremlin-moscow-putin-anti-propaganda-fara-a7943131.html

The last sentence in the second introductory paragraph reads as follows:
"The impact of RT America on the US public has been questioned."
The phrase "has been questioned" has a totally unclear meaning, and so, it could mean almost anything. Therefore it is a waste of people's time to have to read it: It conveys no information whatsoever.
It should be removed. If there is some is useful *intended* meaning, I hope someone who is knowledgeable on this topic — and who knows how to write meaningful sentences — will include that information at an appropriate place in this article.50.205.142.50 (talk) 18:39, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
Is the point in the article trying to convey that RT denies the existence of the holocaust? That seems like an odd claim because RT shows the heart touching documentaryabout Sonia Warshawsk which counters this point.[1] CaribDigita (talk) 06:48, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
@Sprockett: diff follow WP:BRD cycle and provide edit summary, instead of silently reverting back and forth. Explain your content removal, because it does not appear constructive.--Renat (talk) 01:18, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
Some of these figures have ties to fringe or extremist groups that would render them unwelcome on some other channels. I've added "some" before "other channels" because of the absence of a clear definition of "other" here. User:Calton removed it thrice without any explanation except senseless "unnecessary" and "not coherent"(yes, only 3(three) words). I found this removals a disruptive behaviour. 31.134.178.99 (talk) 16:17, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
Is that source smoking something certifiable? The only Far Right show I can think of on RT is "Eat The Press" with Steve Malzberg. CaribDigita (talk) 04:53, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
Despite the reports of RT America ceasing production on March 3rd, a dozen articles were published this morning. What is going on? 2001:48F8:7049:C24:20FA:DE8C:4AA:436A (talk) 19:51, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
Interview with former employees counters much of the claims here.
