Just switch on RT, Russian Television. The pro-tRump/KGOP propaganda continues. Like Fox Entertainment, their news is anything but.
Purely lopsided coverage.
Needless to say it was favorable to tRump, clouded Clinton and the Clinton foundation, hyped up the KGOP members of congress, contextually ripped WM protesters and normalized the positives to friendlier U.S. & Russian partnership...conveniently ignoring Russian harassment of their former neighboring territories, now NATO allies.
They go so far, if you dare want to see propaganda, as disclaiming Putin's regime has installed a puppet government in the U.S. A poor job of it, if you ask me. RT correspondent, Murad Gazdiev, tries to convince you.
Why Trump (& his administration) cant be labeled Russian spies
The network has also resorted to a strategy of ad hominem attacks on the Kremlins critics, switching from a hard news formula to a satire formula when facts dont favor the narrative.

Blogger Eliot Higgins has reported heavily on Russias activities in Ukraine and Syria, which resulted in RT dispatching Kamer yet again to hound him. The network has run numerous hit pieces on the Bellingcat founder but done little to counter the mountain of evidence proving that Russia is providing air support for the regime offensive against anti-I.S. rebels.
The network described both Higgins as Soros-connected, a statement that would be quite unusual if not for the relatively strong viewership among American ultra-right audiences. There are underlying tones of anti-Semitism in RTs coverage, and the network recently aired a deeply weird segment implying Hilary Clinton is backed by a Jewish-Illuminati conspiracy.
Follow those last two paragraphs. They're spoon feeding the American ultra-right exactly what they want to hear. Demonizing democrats like George Soros and using KGB tactics to harass journalists.
Hey Gazdiev! Step one. Say one thing and do another. I fixed it for ya!

(34,661 posts)Mr.Soros lamb basted Trump and Putin pretty hard in a Blomberg Interview last Thursday morning. Soros is concerned about Putin's military movements toward the Baltic Countries and the fall out in Eourpe. Soros said Putin would act out in this manner,and that Trump and his cronies will play echo chamber.
