Even if a viewer did not know that RT was a Putin propaganda machine, they would know after a few minutes of viewing.
With the problems that exist with Russia, I think its useful to get their "take" on things, however warped they maybe. I think its important to see what the Russian people are watching everyday on their screens and what Putin is telling them and hiding from them.
So no, I don't think it should be banned but what should be banned is some of our fellow "countrymen" who appear on the channel regularly. As they clearly love Putin so much, we should invite them to live there with him and never come back here...

I wonder if it is actually the case that RT shows a mirror of Russian domestic output?
Perhaps it's tailored to the oversees audience (unless it's a simulcast of a channel that also broadcasts to Russia?)
