bsflag among international news networks, far surpassing the total number of views for BBC, CNN, Al Jazeera and Euronews.

If Russia Today is Moscow’s propaganda arm, it’s not very good at its job.
The Kremlin-funded news outlet plays a starring role in the report. According to its authors, “Russia’s state-run propaganda machine . . . contributed to the influence campaign by serving as a platform for Kremlin messaging to Russian and international audiences.”
RT is credited with, among other things, “consistently cast[ing] President-elect Trump as the target of unfair coverage from traditional U.S. media outlets that they claimed were subservient to a corrupt political establishment”; “denigrat[ing] Secretary Clinton” with segments like ‘Clinton and ISIS Funded by the Same Money’ ”; and casting doubt on the outcome of the U.S. election with clips like “Trump Will Not be Permitted to Win,” an English-language clip that garnered more than 2.2 million views.

When asked for comment, its spokesperson pointed to a November 2015 study (commissioned by the channel), which found that RT is watched by 8 million people weekly in America, and that it's among the top five international broadcasters in the country....
