RT is misleadingly labelled by many as a media organization. I would say that it's not a media organization. It's not state media. This is the wrong use of the terminology. It's basically a propaganda organization that directly coordinates with the Russian intelligence service. It's a de facto part of the Russian intelligence service, in terms of messaging.
All Russian media now functions in a similar way, in the sense that if the journalists don't say exactly what the Kremlin wants, they're shut down. They go to jail, or their organization is shut down. There is no free media or any kind of state media in Russia right now.
