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.

    Can we get a little deeper of a discussion as our top comment please? We used to be better than this…

    Most upvoted top 2/3rds of the thread are all repeats of the same ‘yeah no shit’.

    The remaining 1/3 is actual discussion…

      What is there to discuss? The article is just stating the obvious: that a news site called “Russia Today” is in cahoots with the Kremlin, the goverment of a country with state-controlled media and well-known influence on Western media.
