Report Casts Light on TV Channel?s Role in Russia?s Propaganda Efforts - WSJ
A declassified U.S. intelligence assessment of Russia’s alleged attempts to influence the American presidential election focuses heavily on RT, a Kremlin-financed international news channel that the report says played a key role in Moscow’s efforts.
The report, released Friday, detailed why the intelligence community believes that Russia carried out cyberattacks aimed at undermining the electoral process and ensured that damaging information obtained through those activities was disseminated online. But it also shined a light on what it characterized as Russia’s bigger propaganda efforts, especially RT, formerly known as Russia Today. Seven pages of the 25-page report detail the growth of the media outlet, its alleged ties to the Kremlin and how it has been a platform for criticizing the U.S. and the West.
