It presents both sides, unlike NYT, CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, etc.

Lets just look at today's splash page.

Here are the stories featured

1) A right wing pundit arguing that any investigation of anything not directly linked to Russia is bad
2) A centrist article attacking Micheal Cohen
3) A far right wing (Dershowitz) pundit arguing that Cohen should be able to do whatever he wants
4) A centrist article (NYT) attacking Trump's behavior
5) An article quoting a Black Billionaire saying nice things about DJT, when the reality of the African American experience under Trump is not really mentioned. Sure, if you're a billionaire, you're winning under Trump. They just found one Black billionaire to discuss
6) A centrist article that explains Syria without being really critical of Trump
7) A pro-Trump article on Syria
8) A celebration of Donald Trump's stolen Supreme Court pick
9 and 10) 2 stories about Me Too

So, of the highlighted stories. 5 were pro-Trump, 2 were critical, 1 was mixed, and 2 weren't even really about Trump. A 5 to 2 ratio on Pro-vs-Anti Trump is pretty much par for the course for RCP.

And then lets go to their RCP average. It oversamples the phony Rasmussen secret poll that has no internals and no release of its methodology.

----

RCP is kind of doing the HANNITY (and colmes) thing. Where they pretend to be balanced, but they aren't even on time, and then focus on stories that are usually designed to play into Trump's desired talking points.

I don't know if you are trolling, lying or just totally delusional to call NYT centrist.

Trump's one night stand turns into a legal nightmare NYT
The Cohen raid and Mueller madness American Spectator

The Gorsuch 1st year anniversary is worth celebrating RCP-Ed Meese
Neil Gorsuch's legacy is already devastating-Slate

The Ideology of Illegal Immigration-National Review
Trump's Border Troops are bad political theater-Salon

And so on. They have editorials and stories from both sides of the fence. If you can't admit that, again, you are trolling, lying or need serious help to get you back to reality, maybe even more help than Hillary needs.

Today, its 5 to 2 pro Trump at RCP. Tomorrow, it will probably be close to the same.

5 to 2 Trump? That's not just alternate facts, that's alternate universe.
