I am from those "parts" of the world but also monitor US media. I found from experience that RT actually does a great job covering issues related to US (and other countries) but it is complete bullshit when it comes to Russia itself.

American and other news agencies (say Al Jazeera) also seem to follow the same pattern more or less.

So it helps to monitor and compare various news outlets and you can sort of see who they cover the same story and how they spin and then, well, decide for yourself if you can't independently verify the facts. If you can then you can benchmark and compare the performance/quality of each of the news sources.
