I just took a look at both Sputnik News and RT's front pages – you would think they'd try to at least make it less obvious that they want Trump to win. It's laughable to say they don't have a dog in the game.

Top headlines regarding US Politics from RT:

Brent Budowsky to RT: ‘Washington has evidence Russia hacked US’… no proof though
US intelligence has “evidence” that links Russia to meddling in the US elections, The Hill columnist Brent Budowsky told RT, yet failing to name exact facts, not disclosed by American authorities either.

CEO of Goldman Sachs, Lloyd Blankfein, has publicly admitted to being “supportive” of presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, saying: “Yes, so flat out, yes, I do.”
