Ex-RT anchor tells Congress how Putin’s media works

There’s been heated competition today on Capitol Hill – who knows more about propaganda machine called Russia Today? Former RT anchor Liz Wahl, Legatum Institute Fellow Peter Pomerantsev and the Heritage Foundation’s Helle C. Dale took part in it.

No facts or examples – just common phrases “Russian propaganda”, “manipulation”, “lies”, Kremlin-funded”. Wahl even said that the Russian media propagates war. Interesting. All of this to apparently attract more funds for the BBG – The Broadcasting Board of Governors or BBG – the organization behind a set of Cold-War-era media projects, funded exclusively by the US government.
