The United States on September 13 said the Russian news outlet RT is taking orders directly from the Kremlin and working with Russian military intelligence to spread disinformation around the world to undermine democracies.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the United States has gathered new evidence that exposes cooperation between RT and four other subsidiaries of the Rossia Segodnya media group, and it intends to warn other countries of the threat of the disinformation.
In addition to RT, Rossia Segodnya operates RIA Novosti, TV-Novosti, Ruptly, and Sputnik, but the announcement on September 13 focused largely on RT. The outlet, formerly known as Russia Today, has previously been sanctioned for its work to allegedly spread Kremlin propaganda and disinformation.
Imo, it’s different. When your own government is heavily invested in your nation’s citizens believing lies to prop up your own nation’s financial elites, individual or corporate, it’s especially egregious.
Do you read yourself? Jesus.
Yes, and I try to think about it, and ask questions. What’s wrong with what I said?
You’re literally posting this on the thread for an article by a government funded news organization created to propagate US foreign policy.
Yes I am.
And apparently you don’t see a shred of irony in it.
That’s where it’s especially appropriate, in my estimation.
