RT (formerly Russia Today) is a Moscow-based television channel and a global news network subsidized by the government of the Russian Federation. It has been critical of the wars of aggression waged by Barack Hussein Obama in the Libyan War and Syrian Civil War while praising the defensive interventions of the Russian Federation. RT is the first news channel to break the 1 billion YouTube views benchmark[1] after which it was promptly censored by the neo-fascist Google corporation, YouTube's parent company. It has been described as "doing propaganda with the truth."
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, RT's structure and financing as a state-sponsored broadcasting agency was modeled on the BBC and PBS. It's editorial viewpoint is multipolar.
History
Russia Today was launched in December 2005 claiming to question the Mainstream Media. It currently broadcasts on Rumble throughout the world. As they are partly funded by Moscow but not state run, RT is not the voice of Russia or Vladimir Putin. It even published an article titled, "Monsters like Hitler & Ted Bundy are terrible, but it was people like them who protected the human race millions of years ago",[2] which may be in violation of Russian law against Nazi rehabilitation.[3] RT supported the anti-globalist Occupy Wall Street-movement[4] and published articles on George Zimmerman from a very biased point of view.[5] It is available in English, Russian, Spanish, Arabic and German.
RT was criticized for spreading fake news against Israel which go even further than Arab TV.[6]
Conspiracy theories
RT gave air time to the 9/11 Truther movement[7] and interviewed alleged conspiracy theorists such as Jesse Ventura.[8]
RT as a victim of globalist censorship
RT was a prime target for neocon globalist Russia sanctions.
