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.
No shit
It’s like saying “Republican party working directly with Fox News, Breitbart, and OANN to spread disinformation”
Yeah … No shit!
It’s like saying “Republican party working directly with Fox News, Breitbart, and OANN to spread disinformation”
Can’t be true. That’s just liberals being partisan. Fox is Fair and Balanced. It says do right there on the Chyron.
And MSN, CNN, voa.
Stuff on MSN and CNN is generally not just made up though
Lol
I’d give you a source, but I feel like your critical thinking skills are approximately that of a goldfish and I would therefore just be wasting my time.
Yes because terms like “unemployment” and “criminal” have static definitions.
I’m genuinely confused as to what USA’s point is here. I mean they do this constantly. Are they saying it’s OK when USA does it but bad when anyone else does it?

I mean it sounds to me like they just don’t want competitors.
*Edit: I just want to add, I think Russia should get out of Ukraine and what they’re doing is awful. But USA complaining about propaganda from other countries is hilariously hypocritical.
Yeah, we’re not new to information warfare, this stuff goes all the way back to the Cold War at least.
The point is that its on, and since its on, it’s a question of do you want to win or lose.
Oh that’s some wild whataboutism. It’s OK for USA to do it because everyone else does. Man that’s some awful way to think.
Yeah, at no point did I say anything was okay. That’s a strawman you concocted.
So yeah the head of a crime organization probably shouldn’t be pointing their fingers at other crime organizations. Just because crime exists historically doesn’t mean you should head a mafia group.
This is exactly what a whataboutism is. Let’s take an axe murderer who murders people’s families. If another axe murderer goes and murders that guy’s family, would it be smart to just ignore it?
The question isn’t what has been done in the past or who deserves what. It’s what should be done now?
You clearly do not understand whataboutism. It’s when someone uses someone else doing the same thing as an excuse. If Russia does it it’s OK for USA to do it. That’s whataboutism.
And yes. Let the criminals kill themselves. That’s why USA doesn’t really do anything about gang wars.
No, that is not a whataboutism in general, perhaps it’s your personal definition to just reverse it like that. This is whataboutism:

Note, my example was not an axe murderer murdering another axe murderer. It was murdering the axe murder’s family. Not him, his family. Siblings, children, cousins, aunts and uncles, you know. People related to you that aren’t actually you.
State news agency works with government to spread negativity about adversery? Unprecedented.
