It is staggering how Trump's tweets mirror the propaganda coming from Russia, as presented on RT, which I've monitored for years. (1) attacks corporate ties of US media, (2) defends Gabbard and Stein, (3) denies Russian meddling in US politics, (4) says US elections are "rigged."
Don't believe me? Here is an example of a recent RT story corresponding to each category. (This took less than 10 minutes to find.) I'll start with how RT attacks US media for its corporate ties, saying you can't trust the American press. rt.com/usa/457858-mai…
There is so much on Tulsi Gabbard that she has her own page on the RT website. Dozens of friendly stories, focusing intently on her lawsuit against Clinton, highlighting stories about her supporters getting harassed, etc. rt.com/trends/tulsi-g…
And here's an example of RT defending Jill Stein. (On a related note, Stein attended a 2015 gala in Moscow honoring the 10th anniversary of RT. Putin was there as well. So was Flynn.) rt.com/usa/425612-jil…
Next, and this is the easiest of all, there are tons of examples of RT denying Russian meddling in 2016. RT is controlled by the Russian government, after all. It's the party line. This is their "takedown" of the Mueller report from last year. rt.com/usa/456960-mue…
Finally, here's an example of RT stoking fears and amplifying content about how US elections are potentially rigged. This article was posted a few weeks before the 2016 election. rt.com/usa/363090-pol…
