International News Organization “Russia Today” Promotes Conspiracy Theories

RT (formerly Russia Today) is a Russian international television network funded by the Russian government. It operates pay television channels directed to audiences outside of Russia, as well as providing Internet content in English, Spanish, French, German, Arabic and Russian.

“Russia Today” is the only international news organisation that promotes conspiracy theories on an industrial scale.

Here’s an example of RT on YouTube:

Contains clever disinformation that may sound reasonable at first blush. Also, the presenter is attractive and her tone engenders trust. The designed effect of this piece is to cast doubt upon the science of global warming. 

They have an RT America channel on YouTube:
